WORKSHOPS

V-2 Bot


V-2 Bot is an autonomous programmable robot designed by team VAAB. This robot is designed using AVR microcontrollers with many features.



 In this workshop, the participants are introduced to the interesting and exciting topic of MICROCONTROLLERS and basics EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. The participants are given a chance to bestow artificial intelligence to the robots. This two day workshop is all about programming the robot using the MICROCONTROLLERS and their environments,  which are widely used in the industries and basics of EMBEDDED SYSTEMS  

The MICROCONTROLLER used in this workshop is  ATmega8 and the development environment used is WinAVR .In this workshop basics of  EMBEDDED 'C' language will be covered so you can make your own programs to control your robot. After this workshop the participants will be able to build robots with artificial intelligence. 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:
  • Line following robot
  • Obstacle avoiding robot
  • Dancing Robot
  • Light controlled robot  

              and many more……………………….
along with this you will be able to interface number of I/O devices to the MICROCONTROLLER
  • LEDs 
  • Buzzer
  • switchs
  • DC motors
  • 16 * 2 alphanumaric LCD
