OVERVIEW

Vision Robotics Workshop mainly focuses on the student eager to learn about Robotics using Image Processing Tool .They will get a chance to expand their knowledge in the field of Robot Vision. The benefit of sophisticated vision technology includes savings, improved quality, reliability, and safety.

The duration of this workshop will be two consecutive days with eight hours session each day, in a total of sixteen hours properly divided into theory and hand on practical sessions. At the end of this workshop a competition will be organized among the participating students where each participating student will get Certificate of Participation and the Winners will get Certificate of Merit.

 Workshop Level : Intermediate Level

 Assembling the DIY kit of Robosapiens iBOT Mini V3.0

Assembling plays a major role that deals with the mechanical section of Robotics including mounting of components and mechanical stability.

 Development of Line Following Robot using Robosapiens iBOT Mini V3.0

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.

 Development of GUI Switch Controlled Robot using Robosapiens iBOT Mini V3.0

GUI Switch Controlled Robot is based on the MATLAB GUI Tool that helps in controlling the robot using the serial port interfacing of PC and the Robot.

 Development of Laser Controlled Robot using Robosapiens iBOT Mini V3.0

Laser Controlled Robot is well programmed mobile machine that can be controlled wirelessly according to direction of the laser ray using the most sensible viewing organ of the robot i.e. Camera.

Day 2 (Session 4)

 Zonal Competition

After the hand on theory and practical experience from the workshop, Zonal Round Competition will be conducted for the participants.
