Summer School on "Robotics"
10th June - 18th July 2019
Department of ECE & EEE, Dronacharya College of Engineering organized summer school on "Robotics" from 10th June – 18th July 2019. Mr. Krishanu Kundu, (Assistant Professor, ECE) was the trainer of the summer school and Ms. Swati (Assistant Professor, ECE) was the coordinator of the workshop.
The objective of the summer school was to incorporate embedded system and robotics into engineering education and engage students through exciting hands-on application of engineering principles.
Initially Mr. Krishanu Kundu (Assistant Professor) briefed participants, the mission, vision and future of Robotics as well as Embedded systems. The technical session started with explanation of the basic features and aspects of ARDUINO Board.
In the due process complete configuration of the ARDUINO Board & Fire Bird V robot was thoroughly discussed by Mr. Kundu. Later the session moved on with hands on training on the following topics using Fire Bird V Robot : LED Blinking, Buzzer Interfacing, Motion control – Forward, Back, Stop, Left, Right, Soft left and Soft right and LCD interfacing.
Ms.Swati demonstrated few sessions on concept of machine learning as well as application of machine learning in the field of robotics. Students also came to know various issues related to interfacing of various sensors with ATmega2560 microcontroller and facts that interfacing creates a significant role in field of Robotics.
It was interactive and knowledgeable session with fruitful gain of knowledge.
