Hands-on training program on "Building Automation Skills with Robots"

The Department of Robotics and Automation Engineering hosted Students development training program for final year B.Tech in Robotics students on December 9th and 10th, 2024, at the state-of-the-art Robotics and Automation Laboratory, RTC Campus. This specialized program was designed to enhance participants' technical expertise in building and programming automation systems using cutting-edge robotic technologies. The training aimed to equip students with the practical skills and in-depth knowledge required to excel in the fast-evolving domains of robotics and automation engineering.

This program was meticulously designed to provide participants with comprehensive exposure to industrial-grade robotic systems and automation technologies.

On behalf of department we would like extend heartfelt thanks to our beloved Head of the Department Dr. Dayananda B S for his encouragement to organize the program and its success.

Key Highlights of the Training Include:

1. Automation Systems Integration: Configuring and deploying PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for seamless industrial automation.
2. Robotic Programming: Practical experience in programming robotic arms using ROS (Robot Operating System) and advanced programming languages like Python and MATLAB.
3. Sensor and Actuator Interfaces: Implementing sensor-driven decision-making and actuator control for autonomous operations. 
4. Introduction to DOBOT Robots: Overview of hardware architecture, modular design, and multi-functional capabilities of DOBOT robotic arms.
5. Collaborative Robotics (Cobots): Exploring the safety and efficiency of DOBOT collaborative robots for human-machine interaction in modern workplaces.
