Thus, RoboKriti is a workshop especially designed for newbie's and robotics enthusiasts of all disciplines from diploma Institutes to Engineering Colleges of all the branches like Electronics, telecommunication, mechanical, computer science, production, metallurgy etc. They will be introduced to the basic fundamentals of robotics and will learn to apply them in real life. Hands-on sessions will help them understand the practical aspects too.
The students will learn the basics concepts and will gain the practical experience while working on the robotics kit specially designed and developed by Team Technophilia. Using this kit, students will make a robotic vehicle which can be controlled via four mediums, viz:
Wired Remote control
Wireless Remote Control (RC Control)
Computer Control
Speech Control (Speech Recognition)
Schedule :
>> At Institute of Engineering & Emerging Technologies, Baddi
29 Nov 2008 - 30 Nov 2008
>> At CUSAT Cochin in association with Techmantra
09 Dec 2008 - 10 Dec 2008

With this basic robotics workshop, Team Technophilia ensures that the students get a hand over basic electronics, mechanics and computer programming for robot motion control. And the added attraction “SPEECH CONTROL”.
Just imagine, you can ask your robot to run, dig, skid, take left, take right, stop etc. with speech commands. This is what we call as effortless control of robots.

Whoa..Robotics... I was always impressed upon seeing a new Robot introduced from Japan...and well if one wants to learn robotics...best way is to go to a workshop like this for sure..where one can see the practical points of robotics usage..would love to be able to attend a workshop like this in the near future...
Thanks for replying,Erik.
And I did have a look at your link and i must say i am impressed with the cool and simple design.
