The robot is an intelligent mechanical device and the first robots are made-up by “Czech Playwright Carel Capek” in the year 1920.
Robotics is a branch of an engineering which deals with designing, creating and operations. The word robotics were derived from the term robot. In present days, there are few varieties of robots are available like serial type, parallel type, walking type and mobile type robots. The parts of the robotics mainly comprise power supply, controllers, grippers, manipulators and end effectors.
When we think about a robot, the primary factor strikes our mind is that imitates somebody’s. However, in real terms, there’s no actual definition of a robot. But, there are some basic characteristics that a robot ought to have like intelligence, sensing, energy and movement, etc. Some robots do the work by themselves to perform particular tasks. But, alternative robots need a help for human beings. As a result, these robots are dependent. Robotics projects are used completely in different applications like medical, space communication and military applications.
Nowadays, several engineering students are showing a lot of interest on robotic projects. They create a lot of interest as compared to other electronics projects. In education level, these projects on robotics are very popular, they are line following robot, pick and place robot, firefighting, wall tracking, humanoid and Hexapod etc. These projects on robotics for engineering students will helpful while doing the practice. So, we tend to advise engineering students to select from these robotics kits as these are capable of operating for them.
This workshop aims to provide a technical platform for the School and Jr. College students from grade 5 to 12. This workshop is introduced to smoothen their journey in the field of robotics and to promote robotics right from the grass roots. It consists of fundamentals and practical concepts of basic electronics, basic mechanics, robotics and its various applications.
