From Scrap to Spectacle: CT University Students Build 10-Feet Giant Robot from Old Car

CT University has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation and experiential learning as its students successfully designed and fabricated a 10-feet tall giant robot using scrap material from an old Maruti 800 car. This remarkable project stands as a powerful example of how waste can be transformed into a symbol of creativity, sustainability, and engineering brilliance.

The project was conceptualized and executed by a dedicated team of students — Yatish, Manav, Baljot, Ankit, and Jaswinder — under the expert guidance of Dr. Jagdeep Singh, Head of the Robotics Department, with the support of Project Officers Dharmpreet Singh and Pulkit. Completed within a span of just one month, the fabrication involved detailed designing, structural planning, and hands-on mechanical work.

The core objective of the initiative was to encourage innovative thinking, promote sustainable practices, and provide real-world technical exposure to students. Through this project, learners gained in-depth practical experience in mechanical design, structural development, fabrication techniques, and teamwork, reinforcing the importance of learning beyond textbooks.

Now installed on the university campus, the giant robot has already become a visual landmark, symbolizing CT University’s focus on skill-based education, creativity, and responsible use of resources.

Pro Chancellor’s Message

Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Manbir Singh, Pro Chancellor, CT University, said:

“This project truly reflects the spirit of innovation and sustainability that CT University stands for. Transforming scrap into a massive robotic structure is not just an engineering feat, but a lesson in creative thinking and responsible innovation. Our students continue to prove that with the right guidance and vision, learning can create impactful outcomes.”

Expert Insight from the Robotics Department

Dr. Jagdeep Singh, Head of the Robotics Department, shared:

“The idea behind this project was to push students beyond conventional classroom learning and challenge them to think creatively with limited resources. The dedication and teamwork shown by the students in bringing this 10-feet robot to life is commendable. Such projects prepare our students to face real-world engineering challenges with confidence.”

This initiative further strengthens CT University’s reputation as a hub of innovation-driven education, where creativity, sustainability, and technical excellence come together to shape future-ready professionals.
