advGRID is an advanced level workshop for those who already have a background in robotics and have done some relevant work.

advGRID aims in facilitating the student in understanding the intricacies of advanced robotics concepts.

Practical sessions will comprise of topics like sending sensor data wirelessly, traversing a room automatically and generating a map or controlling other robots via main robot.

Auxiliary topics like reading an image from a web cam and processing it, making a robot voice controlled etc. will also be covered in this workshop.


Following are the details :

Fee : INR 3,000 per participant with kit
