Teaching and Research Interests / Areas: My primary teaching and research interests lie in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics. I had the privilege of teaching the first Artificial Intelligence course at this institute during the 2001–2002 academic session for its inaugural batch (1999–2003). Over the years, I have developed and taught several advanced courses in this dynamic field, including Soft Computing, Introduction to Machine Learning, Introduction to Python Programing, Deep Learning (2018), Generative AI and Large Language Models (2024), Mathematical Foundations of Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Humanoid Robotics, and Vision-Based Robotics. Additionally, I have successfully secured and led 15 externally funded projects, contributing to the institute’s research ecosystem. For further details, please visit my website: www.gcnandi.com.

Courses taught for the Current Semester – Generative AI and LLMs.

  • Current Offerings – Generative AI and LLMs
  • Past Offerings – Soft Computing, Introduction to Machine Learning, Mathematical Foundation of Robotics, Human Robot Interactions, Humanoid and Collaborative Robots, Computer Controlled Systems, Introduction to Computers, Introduction to Python Programming.

Expertise and Research Focus : My expertise lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, fields that have profoundly transformed society. Over the years, my research—funded by both internal and external sources—has been centered on advancing these technologies. What was once a visionary dream nurtured over the past 35 years is now becoming a reality, and I am committed to leading this revolution from the forefront. Through my work, I strive to push the boundaries of AI and robotics, contributing to innovation and real-world impact.
