About the Book

The concepts of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are no longer confined to the realm of science fiction—they are actively reshaping the world around us. From self-driving cars and virtual assistants to advancements in medical diagnostics and industrial automation, AI and robotics are transforming the way we live, work, learn, and interact. As the world becomes more interconnected and data-driven, these technologies are rapidly becoming essential tools for innovation, efficiency, and intelligent decision-making.

In keeping with the latest trends and educational needs, we present ICSE Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Class 9, a textbook meticulously designed according to the latest syllabus prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). The book aims to introduce students to the fundamental principles and real-world applications of robotics and AI in a comprehensive, structured, and student-friendly manner.
