2 Days Workshop on Robotics
This Robotics workshop mainly focuses on the students eager to learn Robotics from Basic. They will get the chance to expand their knowledge in the field of designing, construction, operation, and application of Robot with real time hand on practical experience.
Workshop Duration: 2 days (16 hrs.)
The duration of this workshop will be two consecutive days, with eight hour session each day in a total of sixteen hours properly divided into theory and hands on sessions. At the end of this workshop, a small competition will be organized among the participating students and winners will be awarded with a Merit Certificate.
Day 1 (Session 1)
Introduction to Robotics
Basics of Robot Electronics:
-
Basic Electronic Components
-
Fundamental Electrical Concepts
-
Sensors
-
Operational Amplifier
-
Integrating Circuit
-
Interfacing of Sensors
-
Motors and Controlling Circuit
-
Interfacing of Motors
Day 1 (Session 2)
Introduction to Microcontrollers
This session would deal with the basics of Microcontroller. The focus will be on the AVR series micro controller- ATMega8, which is one of the most powerful and widely used 8 bit micro controller.
-
What is Microcontroller?
-
Difference between Microcontroller and Microprocessor.
-
Microcontroller Architecture and Interfacing.
-
How can we use Microcontroller in our Own Circuits?
Introduction to Programming Languages
-
Programming Languages- Assembly vs Embedded C.
-
Microcontroller Programming using 'Embedded C'.
Discussion on Different Algorithms
-
Line Following Robot Algorithms
-
Edge Avoiding Robot Algorithm
-
Obstacle Avoider Robot Algorithm
-
Wall Following Robot Algorithm
-
Sound Operated Robot Algorithm
-
Light Searching Robot Algorithm
Installation of Software and Debugging
-
Writing your First 'Embedded C' Program in AVR Studio.
-
Program Compilation and Debugging.
-
Loading Compiled 'C' Program into Microcontroller
Day 2 (Session 3)
Assembling the DIY kit
Assembling plays a major role that deals with the mechanical section of Robotics including mounting of components and mechanical stability.
Generating different LED Patterns
Development of Line Following Robot
As the name suggests, Line Follower Robot is well programmed mobile machine that can follow a path visible like Black Line on White Surface or vice versa. A simple fuzzy logic will do the job of maneuvering the robot according to the Line Following Algorithm discussed in session 2.
Development of Edge Avoiding Robot
Edge Avoiding Robot is a mobile machine that senses the presence & absence of surface below it and avoids the absence of the surface using the Edge Avoiding Algorithm discussed in session 2.
Note: These are just the major aspects that we will be discussing, each point will be elaborated in detail with demonstrations of the tools and techniques.
