A Workshop on Autonomous Robot

September 8^th – 10^th, 2009

Industry Institute Partnership Cell – Ideal Institute of Technology organized a three days workshop on “Autonomous Robot” September, 8^th to 10^th 2009 in collaboration with Sapro Robotics.

Contents of the workshop:

· Introduction to Autonomous Robotics.

· Robot Locomotion, Actuators, motor drivers, Sensors, etc.

· AVR micro controller programming and interfacing.

· Introduction to Embedded system.

· Design and analysis of different algorithm.

· Implementation of line follower and Grid solving robot.

A robotic kit, Tutorials, Datasheets, CD (Software and other material) were provided to all the participating students. Free membership of Sapro Robotics has also been offered to the participants.

Eleven teams each having three students were participated in the workshop. Every team made a Line Follower Robot. The Honorable Chairman of the Institute visited the workshop where students demonstrated their robots. He appreciated the efforts and encouraged them to make more realistic Robots in the Institute. The Director of the Institute praised the participants and assured all possible assistance in furthering the knowledge in this emerging field. He distributed the certificates to the participants and also announced the setting up of a Robotic Club where students and faculty may do work on Robotics. The workshop ended with a promise to build up more Robots in the Institute.
