The hubs are equipped with high end equipment such as wood routing, laser cutting, 3D printers, AR-VR equipment, hand tools, Computer SW, UI–UX tools, officials said.
Programmes like Rapid Prototyping, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Internet of Things (IOT) are offered at the innovation hubs. With this initiative, Karnataka has also become the first state to introduce skill-based training to private engineering colleges, the officials added.
