Swarm Robotics

The Swarm Robotics Workshop is designed to teach students concepts of Swarm Robots . The workshop
can be attended by a student of any stream.
This workshop aims at students wanting to introduce themselves to the field of robotics & AI and how it is
implemented in real life, This workshop teaches you the fundamentals of designing and building
autonomous robots by integration with a microcontroller. It also focuses on conceptualization and designing
of complex systems and will help clear concepts related to embedded systems, artificial intelligence and
automation.
Proper Hands – On Session would be conducted for the students so that they can grasp practical knowledge
by using Special Kits designed by our team which has an immense exposure and expertise in the fields of
Robotics and AI at the International Level.

SESSION 1 :INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

● Brief history
● Existing robotics applications and types of robots
● Robotics as a field and its constituents
● AI
● Sensors

In this session basic idea of robots and robotics is made clear.Participants are introduced to process
of building machine/robots .

SESSION 2 :SWARM ROBOTICS CONCEPT
● The basic Approach
● Definitions
● Wireless Control
● Applications
● How to use a Wireless Device and Interface it with a uC?

SESSION 3 : MECHANICAL WORKING

● Differential drive system
● Differential drive dynamics
● Dead reckoning

ACTUATORS

● Stepper motors
● Servo motors
● Hydraulic arms
● Control of actuators

● Motor Drivers

Everything would be taught in detail about the actuators , their working and real life implementation.
After the above lecture the students will be well acquainted with the concepts of controlled actuation
with various kinds of actuators mentioned above and will also understand the basics of various
types of motor drivers.

SESSION 4 : INTRODUCTION TO MICROCONTROLLERS

● Architecture
● Functioning
● Overview of available microcontrollers
● Features and capabilities will be studied in depth.
● Functioning and use of RS232

In this session , students would be taught about the microcontrollers in details and how to use a
development or the microcontroller with the system. The above lecture will enable students to
understand the microcontroller functioning and program it.

SESSION 5 : BASIC PROGRAMMING

● Micro Controller Programming
● Programming the chip
● Controlling Hbridge
● Developing algorithms for Intelligent ROBOTS and writing programs for the same

The above lecture will build upon the last one and get students acquainted with programming API
and students will also be taught to run their codes on emulator for testing

SESSION 6 : INTRODUCTION TO SENSORS

● Line detection sensors
● LDRs
● Range detection sensors
● And other Sensors

It is essential for students and also knowing about the interfacing with microcontroller , the above
lecture will cover both the aspects of the given sensors. In this session students would be taught
about the sensors in details and how to use these sensors in the competition
