An Autonomous Robotics Workshop

A pre competition workshop of zonal rounds of Robotryst-2014
Workshop Duration : 2 days (16 hrs.)

The duration of the workshop is 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, Zonal competition will be organized among the participants of workshops & winners will be awarded with a Merit certificate. Winners of the zonal rounds will further participant in the final rounds of RoboTryst-2014 at IIT-Delhi in March 2014

Course Content:

"Its the time give brain to your Robots. Let them think like us. RoboTryst-2014 comes up with 'Autonomous Robotics' a Workshop on AI Based Robots."

Day 1 Session 1 : Basics of Robot Electronics

Basic electronic components.

Fundamental electrical concepts. Detailed session on Transistors. Motor Drivers Sensors OpAmp Bread boarding techniques. Interfacing of sensors

Day 1 Session 2 : Introduction to Microcontrollers

This session would deal with the basics of a microcontroller. The focus will be on the AVR series micro controller, ATMega16, which is one of the most powerful and widely used 8 bit micro controllers.

What is Microcontroller? Difference between microcontroller and microprocessor? Microcontroller Architecture and interfacing How can we use a microcontroller in our own circuits? Microcontroller Programming in 'C' Writing your First C Program in AVR Studio Compilation and debugging Loading Compiled C Program on a Microcontroller using Robosapiens 'AVR Loader v1.0 Beta'

Line following Robot Algorithms Edge Avoiding Robot Algorithm Obstacle avoider Robot Algorithm

Day 2 Session 3 : Development of a Edge avoiding Robot on i-BOT Robokit It's a bot which never falls off the edge of a table. It has protruding sensors, which can detect beforehand, what lies ahead, whether it is the table surface or it's end. When it detects an end, it turns taking into consideration the distance between it's wheels and the protruding distance of sensors from the main body of the bot. This results in a mechanism, which turns the robot in the appropriate

direction whenever the limit of the table (or any elevated surface for that matter) ends and thus never lets the bot fall off the table. Day 2 Session 4 : Development of Line Following Robot iBOT Robokit As the name suggests, it follows a line whose color is in contrast with the rest of the surface. A simple fuzzy logic will do the job of maneuvering the bot through the line in whatever direction it goes (obviously keeping in mind the dimensions and turning limitations of the bot)

Day 2 Session 5 : Development of Light Searching Robot on iBOT Robokit As the name suggests, it follows light beam. A simple fuzzy logic will do the job of maneuvering the bot through a Light searching Sensors in whatever direction it goes (obviously keeping in mind the dimensions and turning limitations of the bot). Day 2 Session 6 : Zonal Competition of RoboTryst-2014 Competition: After the workshop, the Zonal Rounds of RoboTryst-2014 will held the participants of the workshop will participate in the zonal rounds. Certificate distribution: To participants of workshops To Zonal Winners Submission of Feedback
