This is a advanced microcomputer based introductory autonomous robotics workshop, where you learn the art of making artificial intelligence robots. It also focuses on conceptualization and designing of complex systems and will help clear concepts like electronics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence and user-friendly programming. This is a robotics workshop especially designed by IIIT-Hyderabad (International Institute Of Information Technology) alumni for newbie's and robotics enthusiasts of all disciplines from Schools, diploma Institutes to Engineering Colleges. Apart from the theoretical sessions, participants would be working on autonomous robotics kit specially designed by IIIT-H research scholars.

 

You will be introduced to the fundamentals of robotics and learn to apply them in real life situations. Enthusing students can continue working in Robotics, take part in competitions, and keep doing bigger projects.

 

Pick and place robots are essential part of any major robotics project. It is an artificial hand that can perform like human hand under the control of suitable hardware and software. What we assure the students is not just building robots, but something greater - a passion for robotics coupled with the knowledge and confidence to take on the world with their self-made machines.

 

We conduct workshop on two consecutive days, each day 8-10 hours hands on session so in total 16-20 hours of hectic learning. The session is properly divided into theory and hands on sessions. In the end, we organize a small competition among the participants of the workshop so that the students get the real feel of competitive environment.

Frequently asked Questions:

What is Robotics?

Robotics is a branch of technology that deals with design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software.

Can I enroll my child if he is studying in 6th class?

Yes any student 5th class above is eligible to join

Who will be the trainer?

Trainer will be a research scholar or post graduate in robotics and has been extensively trained in the field of Robotics.

How will this camp benefit my child?

Children understand and learn fundamentals of math and science while they build different robots in the camp. Each child is provided an individual kit, which is used to build 10 functional robots.

What is the duration of this camp?

Each child will attend the camp for two days. The duration of each session is eight + hours.

How is each session of the camp conducted?

Each session is divided into concept clarity and robot building segments. The students are introduced to the concepts through digital content and team discussions. They then apply the concepts while building the robots in robot building segment.

What does the kit consist of?

The kit consists of various mechanical and electronic components such as, plastic robot body, wheels, gears, motors, motherboard, electronic sensors, screws, nuts, screw-driver, battery, etc.

Is this a certified program?

Yes. This program is certified by PP LABS-INDIA.
