RoboKriti-NXT

After training over 30,000 students across India in last 4 years only on “RoboKriti – The art of building Robots”, it has just grown bigger and better every year. RoboKriti is one of our highly acclaimed workshops by students and teachers. It is specially designed for newbie's and robotics enthusiasts of all disciplines from diploma Institutes to Engineering Colleges of all the branches.

“RoboKriti - The art of Building Robots” is a workshop especially designed for newbie's and robotics enthusiasts of all disciplines from diploma Institutes to Engineering Colleges of all the branches like Electronics, Telecommunication, Mechanical, Computer Science, Production, Metallurgy etc.

The students will learn the basics concepts and will gain the practical experience while working on the RoboKriti kit. They will be introduced to the basic fundamentals of robotics and will learn to apply them in real life. Hands-on sessions will help them understand the practical aspects too.The RoboKriti Kit is specially designed and developed by Team Technophilia. Using this kit, students will make a robotic vehicle which can be controlled via five mediums, viz:

·         Wired Remote control

·         Wireless Remote Control (RC Control)

·         Computer Control

·         Speech Control (Speech Recognition)

·         Internet Control

 “Effortless Robotics”

• Use of Speech Recognition tool in VB
• Microsoft speech recognition engine And Coding

 Session-5: Internet Controlled Robotics

• “Control your robot from anywhere of the world”.
• “Control your robot from one PC to the robot connected in another PC using internet”.
• Also learn basic concepts of server and web scripting.

At the end of this exhaustive basic robotics workshop, team Technophilia ensures that the students get a hands on experience of basic electronics, mechanics and computer programming for robot motion control.

Duration:

Two consecutive days, each day 8 hours session so in total 16 hours, properly divided into theory and hands on sessions. In the end of the workshop a small competition among the participants of the workshop is organized so that the students will get the real feel of competitive environment.
