The webinar was conducted by Dr.Tharindu Weerakoon\, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\, University of Peradeniya.\n\nThe webinar was opened for all the undergraduates interested in Robotics and who plan to s ucceed in the Robotics Industry in the future.\n\nThe event commenced with an introduction to the keynote speaker. Afterwards\, the session was hand ed over to Dr. Tharindu Weerakoon to carry on with his informative present ation. As an approach to the topic\, Dr. Tharindu gave a brief introductio n to robotics. He emphasised the importance of learning robotics as underg raduates\, which became a strong motivation for all the participants. Then Dr. Tharindu proceeded the session with an informative presentation about the modern trends in robotics and the expected future of the robotics ind ustry. Afterwards\, he stepped to the topic of control engineering and tal ked about robotic control systems with many interesting real-world example s. The next part of the session was based on mathematical modelling\, whic h was highly related to kinematics. Also\, he went in-depth in the subject and showed more advanced mathematical approaches to reach the robot’s k inematic model. The latter part of the session was based on obstacles avoi dance and path planning algorithms. All these were explained along with re al-life examples so that the participants could get a better understanding of these advanced topics.\n\nAt the end of the main session of the guest speaker\, the participants were able to clarify their doubts in the Q/A se ssion\, where they were able to get answers to a lot of questions. Moreove r\, Dr. Tharindu showed many follow-up materials and reference resources f or the participants\, which will be much beneficial in widening their know ledge of robotics.\n\nFinally\, to remark the end of the webinar\, the Vot e of Thanks was delivered by the secretary of the Robotics and Automation Society\, and the session was concluded.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Tharindu Weera koon\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 pm - Welcome Address and introduction about the speakers\n\n6:10 pm - Presentation by Dr. Tharindu Weerakoon - Robotic Con trol and Path Planning\n\n7:30 pm - Q & A Session\n\n7.45 pm - Vote of Tha nks\n\n7.50 pm - End of the Session\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee .org/m/280581 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280581 ORGANIZER:ieeeraspera@gmail.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Robotricks 21/22 - Phase 1 -Webinar 3- Introduction to Robot Contro l and Path Planning URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280581 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">The secon d day of phase 1 of the ROBOTRICKS 21/22 webinar series which was organise d by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society\, the student chapter of the University of Peradeniya\, was held on 28</span><span style="font-weight: 400\;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400\;"> of July 2021 from 6.00 p.m onwards via zoom platform.
