Brain & Bots: IEEE Day 2025 Workshop
The BRAIN & BOTS Workshop, conducted by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) and Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) at BIT Durg, was a highly engaging and hands-on learning experience for students, held on 07th October 2025. The workshop aimed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Robotics, while providing practical exposure to real-world applications and emerging technologies.
The workshop was structured into two interactive sessions. The first session focused on AI and Machine Learning, beginning with an overview of AI, essential skills, and coding environments such as VS Code, Google Colab, and Jupyter Notebook. Students explored Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using Python libraries including Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn, and learned the basics of ML workflows through hands-on experiments. Online resources were also shared to encourage continued learning.
The second session focused on Robotics, covering principles, real-life applications, and career pathways. Participants learned how robots sense, think, and act, with examples from smart assistants and surgical bots to autonomous vehicles and industrial automation. The session featured a live bot showcase, demonstrating line-following, obstacle-avoidance, and remote-controlled robots. Industry standards like ROS (Robot Operating System) and hardware requirements for AI-driven robotics projects were also discussed, highlighting pathways to advanced robotics applications.
Highlights of the Event:
- Fundamentals of AI and Machine Learning, including Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and hands-on experiments.
- Insights into Robotics, real-world applications, and career pathways.
- Practical exposure to coding environments (VS Code, Google Colab, Jupyter), and a live bot showcase.
- Understanding ROS, embedded AI, and future opportunities in intelligent robotics and interdisciplinary projects.
Students left the workshop with hands-on experience, practical knowledge, and the inspiration to actively contribute to the rapidly evolving fields of AI and robotics.
