Summer         Workshop

 

Summer Educational Workshop

An ever increasing number of mechatronic systems are finding their way into our daily lives. Mechatronic systems synergistically combine computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Robotics systems can be viewed as a subset of mechatronics that focuses on sophisticated control of moving devices.

Robotics provides the perfect educational tool for introducing students to embedded systems and computation for interacting with the physical world.

Our aim is to develop an integrated approach to teaching robotics that will train students simultaneously in in foundational aspects of designing, controlling, and programming robots and embedded systems. The objective of this workshop is to evaluate the state of the art for undergraduate robotics education and discuss how to build on this experience toward a broad integration of robotics.

We will conduct an all-inclusive workshop. Everybody who wants to come will be able to attend. Everybody who wants to do a presentation of his talent will be allocated some time to do so.

Hands on projects:

 

1. - Line Follower Robot

A Robot which is capable of detecting and displaying the color of the surface and will follow the specified path on a given circuit.

2. - Obtacle Avoidance Robot

A Robot which will manuever on a given circuit and will avoid all obstacles coming on its way. It will also detect the distance of the obstacle from itself.

3   - GSM Controller Robot

A Robot whose motion can be controlled via CellPhone. The motion of the robot will be controlled via pressing the keys of the mobile phone.

4.  - Sumo Fighting Robot

A Robot in a ring which is programmed to fight with other robot. A wrestling between the robots.

5.  - PC controlled Robot

A Robot that can be controlled from a computer using paraller/serial and USB port.

6.  - Home Automation and security System

A Robot/Controller system that can be programmed to automate your house.

7.  - Robotic Arm

A Robotics arm that can perform various functions like picking up of an object, throwing a ball and many others.

 

All these hands-on exercises will be grouped into different tasks and competition will be conducted between the teams.
