iMACBOTZ WORKSHOP

under Kaleidoscope

INTRODUCTION

The essence of being an Engineer does not lie in the ability to fill the gaps in existing
technology; it lies instead in the art of original thinking, in creating new avenues as yet
unexplored. It is this spark of inspiration that converts an idea, through the aid of science to a
plan on paper and later to working reality. The above fact will be precisely proved at the
“iMACBOTZ” (Intelligent Machine Robots) workshop at FOOTPRINTS’10.

“iMACBOTZ- ROBOTICS MADE EASY” is a workshop empowering all the technical minds
and robotics enthusiast with all the basics concepts of robot designing, component knowledge,
programming integrities and future technology pertaining to robots. The workshop is the media
through which participating students will acquire all the fundamentals of robotics while working
on the iMACBOTZ robot kit.

Last Date for Registration : 20th January,2010

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

“iMACBOTZ- ROBOTICS MADE EASY” is a workshop empowering all the technical minds
and robotics enthusiast with all the basics concepts of robot designing, component knowledge,
programming integrities and future technology pertaining to robots. The workshop is the media
through which participating students will acquire all the fundamentals of robotics while working
on the iMACBOTZ robot kit.
After having experienced the workshop students will be confidently able to design their own
robot machine which can be controlled via four mediums viz:

1) WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL ( RC CONTROL)

2) WIRED CONTROL.

3) COMPUTER CONTROL.

4) INTERNET CONTROL.

5) SPEECH CONTROL (SPEECH RECOGNITION)

You don’t require any prior knowledge as all basics will be taught at the workshop.

CONTENTS OF THE WORKSHOP

DURATION:-16 hours spread over 2 days

Sessions of the workshops:

Session-1: Wired Robotics

“Robots controlled with an attached wire onto the switches used to move the robot for specific
task”.

Session-2: Wireless Robotics (RC Control)

“Robots controlled through a remote .Now you need not move along with the robot while its
navigation”.

Session-3: Computer Controlled Robotics

“Use of your keyboard or mouse to control your robot movements’ .Unique blend of computer
technology with electrical and moving machine”

Session-4: Speech Controlled Robotics

“Robots controlled through your commands that mean it will recognise your voice to perform
activities”.

Session-5: Internet Controlled / Mobile Control Robotics

“Imagine robots controlled through computer and mobile phones”

Control your robot through Internet while having the view using the webcame on your computer
screen and control your robot through GPRS enabled mobile phones .including learn basic
concepts of server and web scripting.

Content developed in association with ARK TECHNOSYSTEMS

Participation Fees – Rs.650/- per student

No parth but you can buy this kits at very less prise after the workshop. You will get a
certificate for course and a fully loaded software CD

Hi Marmik,

It’s a 2 days complete workshop, you will have Robotics kit with you for the two days.
And than after learning all the theory and hands on session, there will be an option to buy
the kits after the workshop at discounted rates. And moreover you will be able to make
 your Robotics Machine after the workshop. So than rather than buying, you can make
your own Machine yourself.

To all Participants,

All the students will get a certificate from GREATSTEP,IIT, Kharagpur. Because it’s an
GREATSTEP,IIT, Kharagpur certified course.

Please get in touch with Sanjana & Rahul for more details. You will find the posters soon
in your campus.

@marmik-
The kits will cost around Rs.2500/= per kit. The kits will be available for purchase after
the workshop gets over for interested participants.

Hi team footprints .Does the computer controlled robots means they are programmable
robots or just controlled by computer through a wire connected to it .

@anish-The workshop is being conducted by ARK TECHNOSYSTEMS. They have

trained more than 5000 Engineers past semester covering many colleges, to name a few
of them are:

IIT, Kharagpur,IT-BHU, Varanasi,MITCOE, Pune,MMCOE, Pune,K J Somaiya,

Mumbai,RIT, Goa,BV Raju COE, Hydrabad,YCCE, Nagpur,SVP, Mumbai,RGIT,
 Mumbai,
DA-IICT, Gandhinagar…..

@hardik- sorry. That topic is from autonomous robotics. We have the workshop ,this
year, covering robots using wired , wireless , mobile , internet and speech control.
But in case you want to clarify any doubts the trainer present there will surely clear your
doubts regarding Beam robots.

About the team conducting it- please read above post..

@ Nikunj

Hi nikunj,
we have included 6 types of robots.
Wired, wireless, pc, speech, internet & mobile control robots.

Apart from wired robotics, all the application run on wireless medium. For e.g ur receiver
will be there on ur robotic chasis and its 40-50meters far. And your transmitter will be
connected to computer, so than using GUI or through your voice comands you can
control the motion of your robo. Like you playing playstation. But its real application not
virtual.

And the fasinating feature is through your GPRS enabled mobile phone you can control
your robo. As if you are playing a game on it.

So its really a good apportunity to learn this modules due to FOOTPRINTS team.

@ Hardik,

Hi Hardik,

Beam robotics is a topic of autonomous robotics. But we have faculty coming from
industry, you can have direct conversation with him.

And for the Robotics enthusiasts, our team will give you the demo of complete
autonomous robots, swarm robots, aqua robots.

Hope 2 c u all for the workshop.

 Thanks
