Pic Robotics Workshop

We have come with 2 days Workshop based on Pic Robotics.

Project Description

OVERVIEW

6th Sense Robotics will focus on getting you up and running with Arduino quickly, so that you will understand the basic procedures for working with Arduino and can explore further on your own. An Arduino is a small computer that you can program to control things like lights or motors along with listening to components like motion detection sensors. It can give your project interactivity without needing an expensive and large circuit. Instead, you use a computer to program the Arduino, upload your code to the Arduino, and hook up your circuit.
The duration of this workshop will be two consecutive days with eight hours session each day, in a total of sixteen hours properly divided into theory and hand on practical sessions. At the end of this workshop a competition will be organized among the participating students where each participating student will get Certificate of Participation and the Winners will get Certificate of Merit.

Day 1 (Session 1)

1. Basics of Robot Electronics

Basic Electronic Components
Fundamental Electrical Concepts
Sensors
Operational Amplifier
Integrating Circuit
Interfacing of Sensors
Motors and Controlling Circuit
Interfacing of Motors

Day 1 (Session 2)

1. Introduction to Microcontrollers

This session would deal with the basics of Microcontroller. The focus will be on the PIC series micro controller- PIC16FXXX, which is one of the most powerful and widely used 8 bit micro controller.

What is Microcontroller?
Difference between Microcontroller and Microprocessor.
Microcontroller Architecture and Interfacing.
How can we use Microcontroller in our Own Circuits?

2. Introduction to Programming Languages

Programming Languages- Assembly vs Embedded C.
Microcontroller Programming using ’Embedded C’.

3. Discussion on Different Algorithms

Line Following Robot Algorithms
Edge Avoiding Robot Algorithm
Obstacle Avoider Robot Algorithm
Wall Following Robot Algorithm
Sound Operated Robot Algorithm
Light Searching Robot Algorithm

4. Installation of Software and Debugging

Writing your First 'Embedded C' Program in MPlab IDE.
Program Compilation and Debugging.
Loading Compiled 'C' Program into Microcontroller.

Day 2 (Session 3)

1. Assembling the PIC DIY kit

Assembling plays a major role that deals with the mechanical section of Robotics including mounting of components and mechanical stability.

2. Generating different LED Patterns using Robosapiens PIC DIY Kit

3. Development of Line Following Robot using Robosapiens PIC DIY Kit

As the name suggests, Line Follower Robot is well programmed mobile machine that can follow a path visible like Black Line on White Surface or vice versa. A simple fuzzy logic will do the job of maneuvering the robot according to the Line Following Algorithm discussed in session 2.

4. Development of Edge Avoiding Robot using Robosapiens PIC DIY Kit

Edge Avoiding Robot is a mobile machine that senses the presence & absence of surface below it and avoids the absence of the surface using the Edge Avoiding Algorithm discussed in session 2.

Day 2 (Session 4)

1. Zonal Competition

After the hand on theory and practical experience from the workshop, Zonal Round Competition will be conducted for the participants.

2. Certificate Distribution

On behalf of Robosapiens Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Certificate of Merit will be provided to all Zonal Round Winners and Certificate of Participation will be provided to all the Zonal Round Participants (Excluding Merit Participants).
