DESCRIPTION:Robotics and automation are not just learning theories\, and on
 ly the theories can’t handle a well-controlled robot. So this novel idea
  of giving the registrants of Robotricks’21/22 the experience of simulat
 ing a robot through the Webots software is all because of the country’s 
 pandemic situation\, and the registrants are all stuck inside their houses
 .\n\nDay 01 of the two-day workshop was held on the 1st of August 2021 via
  the zoom platform with more than 100 enthusiastic participants. At the co
 mmencement of the event\, the day’s moderator gave a warm welcome to the
  gathering and a brief introduction about the speaker. The speaker and the
  instructor of the event was Mr. Udula Ranasinghe\, the secretary of the R
 obotics and Automation Society\, who has vast knowledge on robotics and wa
 s also a participant in well-known robot competitions.\n\nSo the first ses
 sion was started with a presentation about the Webot software environment 
 and some features of the components which we can add when creating the rob
 ot. Also\, the speaker gave an idea about the possible programming languag
 es that we can execute on Webots. The robot was built from scratch by expl
 aining everything and while debugging the errors encountered. So that the 
 participants were aware of the possible errors and how to rectify them. As
  the time limited our session to two hours\, he had to stop mid-way\, hopi
 ng to meet the same energetic participants the next day. At the end of the
  session\, he just made the robot go forward and showed us the mid-way out
 come. Finally\, he mentioned about the first task that will be given to th
 e participants in the near future.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mr. Udula Ranasinghe\, \
