Robotrix Workshop
One Week ROBOTRIX Workshop
One week ‘ROBOTRIX’ workshop was organized by IEEE JUIT SB in collaboration with IEEE R10 education activities and IEEE Delhi section from August 17–23, 2023, in ECL5, Jaypee University of Information Technology, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India.
The event's resource person was Dr. Vikas Baghel, Coordinator of e-Yantra, an MHRD-funded project started by IIT Bombay of JUIT. The Robotrix Workshop, spanning six enriching days, was a comprehensive program designed to introduce participants to the exciting world of robotics, and theoretical knowledge about IoT concepts and Arduino electronics to demonstrate basic principles behind their design and functioning, and to provide hands-on experience of working on an Arduino interface and build a strong foundation in robotics.
The workshop commenced with an inauguration, setting the stage for a week of robotic exploration. Participants were introduced to the fundamental building block of robotics - Arduino. They learned about its importance in modern robotics and its role as the brain of their robots.
Day 2 delved into the crucial components of robotics - motors and sensors. Participants received an introduction to these components, followed by hands-on practical sessions. They learned how to connect and control motors and how sensors enhance a robot's interaction with its environment.
On day 3, participants were introduced to the basic movements of a robot - forward, backward, left, and right. Practical exercises helped them implement these movements. The highlight of the day was when participants created their own smartphone apps to wirelessly control their robots via Bluetooth.
On the fourth day, participants received robot kits and were guided through the assembly process. They also learned how to write code to make their robot components work together seamlessly. This hands-on experience gave them a deeper understanding of the mechanical and programming aspects of robotics.
Participants spent the day creating their robots from scratch using their assembled kits. To make their robots work, they put the code they had created the day before into use. This day was a key turning point in their development as roboticists. The workshop's last day was exciting as participants put their newly built robots to the test in a dramatic scenario. This race promoted a culture of healthy rivalry and teamwork in addition to showcasing their technical prowess. Students also created issues for line detection and object detection.
The participants of the Robotrix Workshop left with a solid foundation in robotics, making it a resounding success. They acquired useful skills in the assembly of robots, Arduino programming, managing motors and sensors, and even creating their own smartphone applications. A thrilling robot race that showcased their development and passion marked the workshop's end. Participants in this workshop are not only educated, but also motivated to pursue robotics-related employment and additional education. This workshop provided limitless opportunities that technology and creativity present in the field of robotics.
