Blue-Droid

Robotics is the future of mankind. Where lots of difficult and hazardous tasks are being performed by robots, reducing the human causalities. Especially humanoid robots like ASIMO(Hundai) are walking around with us nowadays. When a smart phone is used along with a robot one can create miracles.So in this workshop we will interface a smart phone(android only) with a robot platform using Bluetooth technology.

The students attending the workshop will be able to connect their robots to smart phone and will be able to control it even with your voice command. Not just playing a virtual games using accelerometer of your phone, you can control your robot by tilting your smart phone. Our workshop is purely based on the practical approach of robot design with hands on session where every team will be given spare parts to build a robot and practice the coding on it. 

 This workshop will be conducted for 2 days (16 Hrs), with each day divided into 2 sessions.In this workshop,  the different robots which will be built are as mentioned below;
