Design a robotic fish in SolidWorks and then fabricate the same with the help of 3-D printing.
The robotic fish should have two revolute joints as shown in the figure below. Then actuate the
joints with servo motors such that it performs carangiform motion. The robotic fish must be
slightly negatively buoyant such that it is submerged just below the surface of the water, and it
should not roll around its own axis.
Deliverables:
Phase 1: Show the complete working model after connecting electronic components.
Phase 2: Demonstration of the capability of the robot in the water tank in the MICL lab and
measure the performance of the robot (straight path following, curve path following, maximum
achievable speed, and depth of operation).
Phase 3: Develop a controller for the robot to balance the rolling motion.
Mini Project 2
Self-Balancing Robot
Point of Contact: Aditya and Pranav No. of Team Members: 2
Title: Design a 2-Wheel Self Balancing Robot by Using Arduino and MPU6050
Deliverables:
Phase 1: The robot needs to be designed in any CAD software and a brief description of the
electronic components that are needed. What type of fabrication techniques should be used
and why?
Phase 2: Designed CAD model should be fabricated, and integration of electronic
components should be done.
Phase 3: A working model of the robot should be submitted in LAB. Robot should be
designed with a PID controller.
Mini Project 3
Ball Balancing Platform
No. of Team Members: 2
Point of contact: Yuvaraj
1. Implementation of control system for ball balancing platform system using PID controller.
The movement of ball should be tracked using visual feeds. Ready-made ball balancing
platform with SolidWorks model will be provided.
2. Submit detailed report. Report should consist of:
a. Circuit diagram of existing system.
b. Mathematical modelling of the system.
c. Provide algorithm/flowchart and code with explanation.
d. Demo of working model with explanation. (Provide image & video files)

3. Deliverables:
Develop a robotic manipulator on a mobile base. A basic prototype will be provided to you
from the BRAIn lab. You have to replicate the same in any CAD software, then simulate the
platform in coppeliaSim. Further demonstrate the model by connecting all the electronic
components. Your platform should be able to perform a pick and place operation.
Deliverables:
You will be given a Kinect sensor. Use image processing with Kinect sensor daya, and
determine if a moving obstacle inside the workspace of the KUKA robot (in BRAIN Lab)
will cause collision. If collisions are predicted the the KUKA robot have to stopped
automatically
Deliverables:
Develop a water boat which can avoid obstacles on its own and maneuver around the
environment. A basic prototype will be provided as shown below.
Deliverables:
Phase 1: Understanding of the robot, demonstration of basic electronic components, and
CAD design of the maneuvering system.
Phase 2: Integration of suitable proximity sensor, used for detecting obstacles and
measuring distance between boat and obstacle.
Phase 3: Implementation of PID controller for maneuvering and a working model of the
boat should be submitted.
