Details of the Workshops: Wall E : The Workshop on Basic Autonomous Robots What?A 3 day Workshop on Basic Autonomous Robotics, covering the following topics:
All participants shall work in groups of a maximum of 3 people and shall receive a take home kit consisting of a Line Following Robot.The kit will consist of a general purpose development board which can be expanded and modified to make other similar Autonomous Robots. Who?Any member from the SRA with previous knowledge of coding in C/C++ and a basic idea of electronics and logic circuits, which can be obtained from presentations we can provide on request. The members can also approach the core group members to learn about the same before the date of the workshop. Attendance of the previously conducted lecture on microcontrollers is a must.When?October 2nd-4th. The schedule will up put up on the website(sra.vjti.info) so keep checking the announcements section. To stay up to date with SRA events, you can use this calendar. You can access it either via a calendering application like Google Calendar or Windows Calendar, or as an RSS feed. How Much?Rs. 1800 for a group of 3 people. This covers the cost of a Take Home Pre Soldered Development Board for the Atmega 16 along with motor drivers, 2 motors, USB Programmer and the line sensor array. Participants are requested to bring along their own power supplies and multimeters, as these shall not be provided. We recommend variable power supplies providing 9 Volts DC OR a battery pack (Ni Cd or Li Ion) giving anything above 9 V. How Many?Maximum Number Of Groups is 20. Entry is selective based on your answers in the form. How to register?Drop the form attached at the bottom of the page at the SRA as per the schedule given above.Aquila - The Workshop on Hand Launched Gliders What is it?
A HLG is a non-powered glider launched by hand and its flight path can be controlled before the launch itself. It is more responsive to lift and sink helping you to understand the factors affecting lift better. Although its flights are comparatively short, it helps you learn from every launch and teaches you where and how not to fly and how to design a better aircraft. Who?Any SRA member who has a basic idea of pressure, forces, moments and fluid properties can attend. Information on these can be obtained from presentations we can provide on request. The members can also approach the senate members to learn about the same before the date of the workshop. When? How Much? How Many?
