 Bangalore: Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Tuesday unveiled the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems at the premier Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore.
"I believe that the Bosch-IISc team will take the lead in bringing out innovation in automotive vehicles and deal with the significant areas of bio-medical, nano, info and eco systems," Kalam said after inaugurating the centre.
The 47-billion euro German supplier of industrial products and services has earmarked Rs.140 crore for funding the centre as part of its global initiative - the "Bosch Inter-Campus Programme".
The Bosch Group announced in May that it would invest Rs.300 crore in universities and research projects in Germany, China, India, and the US over the next 10 years. Of the total amount, around 47 percent will be invested in projects that will be carried out at the premier science institute.
"The centre aims to achieve lasting improvements in research conditions for under-graduates and scientists in the university sphere. The programme will accelerate progress in the fields of environment, energy, and mobility," Bosch India Ltd managing director V.K. Viswanathan said on the occasion.
