Dhaka: Abu M. Fuad, who has been involved in artificial intelligence and robotics since his days at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, founded an online school called *Ektukhani Robotics* in 2018. Now, as a lecturer at the University of Scholars in Dhaka, he continues to foster robotics education among students.
In August last year, the University of Scholars launched a dedicated *Robotics and AI* division. As the name suggests, this initiative focuses on advancing research and development in robotics and artificial intelligence. Primarily designed for engineering students, the program is open to all university students, who can participate and learn free of charge.
Abu M. Fuad shared that their lab is currently working on *Industrial Robotic Arm Control Operation*. While the core components are imported, both teachers and students are collaboratively enhancing the system, gaining hands-on experience in the process.
Students are also preparing for competitions like the *Underwater Rover* and *Mars Rover Challenge*. The design phase for their robots is complete, and they are now gearing up to demonstrate their capabilities. Previously, the university organized a technology-focused event called *Beyond Boundaries 1.0*, where students participated enthusiastically.
A notable achievement came in the *Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (RPC) 2025*, co-organized by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA. In the Bangladesh segment of this international competition, the University of Scholars’ team, *Robostellar X*, secured third place. The team was mentored by Md. Asif Mahmud, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and Abu M. Fuad, Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Fuad remarked, “Our team finished third by a very narrow margin, but this is just the beginning. Our students are consistently winning awards in other national competitions, and I’m very optimistic about their future.”
