Robotics Workshop
RoboMSR in association with LI2 Innovations Pvt. Ltd., has conducted 'Li2-Robo-II' workshop involving building of controlled & autonomous Robots using discrete electronic components on 25th & 26th September 2009 at MSRIT, Bangalore Campus. More than 150 Students have participated in the Workshop.
ROBOKRITI (9th and 10th Nov. 2008)
9th and 10th November 2008. More than 300 Students attended the program. The following sessions are conducted with practical exposure: Introduction to Robots, Robotics, Essential things required for Robot building. LOCOMOTION: Wheeled, Legged, Flying, Floating. MOTORS: Types of Motors, Gear trains, Geared Motors, Japanese Motors for exhibition, Reduction in speed of motors, Increase in the torque of motors, Selection of motors as per the application. TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS: Gear, Belt Pulley, Chain Sprocket, Rack and Pinion, Worm and Spur Arrangement. GOOD PRACTICES FOR ROBOT BUILDING: Bearing, Bushing, Coupling, Linkages. BASIC CONTROL SYSTEM: DPDT, Switches, Limit Switches, Relays. Session-2: Wireless Robotics ( RC Control): WIRELESS COMMUNICATION: RF Transmission and Reception, What is Modulation? Types of Antenna, RF Modules, 4-bit Encoders and Decoders, 8-bit Encoders and Decoders, Address Protection, Problem of Latching?, Quad Multiplexing. MOTOR DRIVER: Relays-Transistor, Motor Driver, H-Bridge Motor Driver, Introduction to Pulse Width Modulation. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB): Transmitter circuit board, Soldering of transmitter circuit board, Receiver circuit board, How to convert a circuit diagram into a PCB?, Layout designing, Overview of Manufacturing of PCB. SOFTWARE: Express PCB, Dip Trace, Eagle. Session-3: Computer Controlled Robotics: “By simple pressing of command buttons, mouse clicks on a computer one can control a Wireless Robot.” ISOLATORS: Why do we need isolation?, Opto Isolators. PARALLEL PORT: DB-25 IBM PC Parallel Port, Parallel Port Registers, How to get the Parallel Port Address?, Indepth explanation of Parallel Port Data Register, Interfacing Parallel Port with the Transmitter Circuit. VISUAL BASIC 6.0: Introduction to Visual Studio, How to access Parallel Port using VB 6.0?, Coding in VB 6.0, How to set a delay function?, How to do Pre-Programming?. Session-4: Speech Controlled Robotics: “By simply speaking out the control words on the microphone of a computer, one can make their robots run, dig, skid, take left, take right, stop, etc.” “ Effortless Robotics”, Use of Speech Recognition tool in VB 6.0, Microsoft speech recognition engine. And Coding: At the end of this exhaustive basic robotics workshop, Team Technophilia ensures that the students get a hand on basic electronics, mechanics and computer programming for robot motion control.
Basic Line follower robotics workshop
The IEEE MSRIT organized a Basic Line follower workshop on 7th and 8th April 2007. The workshop was conducted by Dr. A G Venkatesh. The event saw participation from about 75 teams(225 Students) from all over Bangalore.
Robotics Workshop
A two day hands on workshop was conducted by Robo MSR and IEEE MSRIT Student branch on 16th & 17th April 2007. 24 teams participated in the two day workshop, where they learnt the basics of robotics. In the workshop, the participants built a remote controlled robot, under the guidance of the organizers.
