About Event:
Robotics is the area of research that involves the design, fabrication and applications of robots. A robot is an electro-mechanical device that can cause a change in the surroundings and it operates by its actions. These actions may be controlled by a human operator or may be autonomous. Robots can sense their environment through sensors of various modules. Research is pursued world-wide to develop intelligent robots that are able to analyze the sensed data and make intelligent decisions on their own. Robotics is inherently interdisciplinary in nature and is a confluence of techniques and technologies originating from the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Engineering. This workshop fundamentally deals with designing various kinds of electronic sensors and circuits and designing an autonomous robot using the different sensor without using a Microcontroller. This module would be utilized to familiarize the students with the concepts of designing and building a small robot that is capable of performing multiple tasks such as
  • Manually controlled Robot
  • Obstacle Detector and avoidance
  • Line follower Robot (without controller)

 COURSE CONTENTS
