TATHVA’08 the Annual Technical Festival of NIT, Calicut and Technophilia Solutions presents a Robotics Workshop: ROBOKRITI – An Art of Building Robots, a certified course with an aim of Training Engineering students in the dimensionless field of robotics.

Venue:

At NIT Calicut
On 24-25 September 08

At CET Trivandrum
On 30 Sep-01 Oct 08

At NIT Calicut
On 23-24 October 08

Highlights:
Certificates for all participants by NIT, Calicut and Technophilia Solutions.

As the name indicates “The art of Building Robots”. A recent survey in Japan concludes that, to be a Master of Robotics, one should be good in Electronics, Mechanics and Computer science (programming) too.

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)

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.
