Robotics Workshop in Trivandrum @ SCT College of Engineering conducted by Grey Orange Robotics

The robotics workshop and pro-show is being conducted by acclaimed firm GREY ORANGE ROBOTICS, who are the developers of India’s first indigenously developed humanoid robot 'AcYut'.

They will be conducting a three day workshop of 20 hours total dealing with the making of the humanoid hand.

This Robotics Workshop by masterminds of Grey Orange Robotics is first of its kind in Trivandrum. This is conducted in association with the Mega Fest "CULT A'WAY 2011".

Very limited Seats available.
