Swarm Robotics Workshop

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.

The charges for the workshop are 1350 /- per person inclusive of all taxes and training material.

The Charges includes:

• Training fee of the 2 day workshop
• Participation certificate
• Additionally, a detailed manual will also be provided to each participant .

Free Takeaway Kit to One Team.

HANDS – ON
