Robotics Association of Nepal (RAN) is the only national-level non-profit association that provides an outstanding platform for students and enthusiasts all over Nepal and established to promote, educate, explore, and compete in the field of robotics. Today, this organization has grown to become a consortium of one dozen engineering colleges of Nepal with support of premier organizations like Nepal Academy of Science & Technology under Ministry of Science and Technology, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Lalitpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Nepal Automobile Dealers Association, Robotics Certification Standard Alliance, and various academic institutions and private business organizations throughout the country. Robotics Association of Nepal has not only being conducting the workshops, training, seminars and competitions but is under the constant procedure of research and development which is believed to be increasing the level of association itself and giving them the fresh outputs to be spread to the fellow students. Research and development has been a keen subject for the association from the time of its origin, different subjects like surveillance systems, power management systems, automation, robotics, embedded systems etc has been the chief areas for the research. We integrate principles from all disciplines of engineering in the development of our robots, and provide valuable hands-on design and building experience to our members that cannot be learned in the classroom. The main vision of the association is to expose everyone to the latest advancements in robotics technology by focusing knowledge sharing and hands-on experience through team spirit. It also provides a comfortable platform for enthusiasts to learn more about robots’ technologies practically in order to enchant their engineering skills by engaging in annual competitions the association facilitates, working on group projects, organizing workshops, documentary, presentations and seminar. The association involves itself in a continuous process of learning and exploring the possibilities in the robotics field nationally most of which comes from the hands-on knowledge and experience in building robots.
