AIM 2012:RoboTech

RoboTech 2012:
RoboTech is a workshop organized by the team AIR under the DEPARTMENT OF Electronics Engineering,Omnipresent Robot Technologies and Team GATIK at the Delhi Technological University(DTU),designed to fundamentally train students in basic skills of "Robotics","Artificial Intelligence" and "Machine Learning".The main aim of this workshop is to introduce these subjects to the students and hence encouraging them to work in these fields which are advancing at a unprecedented rate and seems to be a future hope of the Mankind.

What is ROBOTECH 2012?


RoboTech is workshop entirely based on teaching fundamental "Theory on Robotics,AI and Machine Learning" and applying it inform of "Practicals".The Concept of RoboTech is very "Hands-On" means you will be taught theory and simultaneously would be building your own "Robot".


The Aim RoboTech is to make students very comfortable in making a Robot on their own.More over to achieve the above mentioned we will strictly restrict to "Open Source" domain of hardware and software so that later in future you can yourself built a Robot in any Open Source Domain available to you.


Who will take the workshop lectures?Course Content ?

Omnipresent Robot Technologies Pvt.Ltd one of the pioneers in Robotic Industries which in its past years of work has created Robots like "Unmanned Ground Vehicle ANGAD" ,"Unmanned Aerial Vehicle GARUN","Cleaning Robot ROBOBAI","Diagnosis Robot NADI-N" any many more,has established its name in the robotic industries of India and U.S.The main Teaching part of RoboTech Workshop will be carried out by Omnipresent Group.The Key Speaker of RoboTech will be Mr.Aakash Sinha CEO and founder of Omnipresent Robot Technology.Mr.Aakash Sinha is alumni of DTU and did his B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from DTU(formerly known as DCE).He then went to US to study Robotics form the Robotics Institute of  CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY(CMU) which is one of the top robotics institute of in WORLD.Mr.Aakash Sinha a well know robotics scientist has made robots and worked with  the India Defense(DRDO),Lockheed-Martin,US Defense(DARPA),and many more,He won the finalist medal at the prestigious US Defense DARPA Robotics Grand Challenge and outstanding employee award at iRobot Corp. As Technical Head at iRobot his team delivered over 3000 pack bot robots to US Army.Mr Aakash Sinha will be teaching along one or more associate's from his company.

The contents of the course are depicted in the following image.




We have also introduced a special section where in a exhibition will be organized,where for the students we will bring in the different ROBOTS built by Omnipresent Robot Technologies in LIVE ACTION.TEAM GATIK has been invited who will exhibit their own made HUMANOID Robot.Hope fully this will enhance the interest of students in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.Here are some of the Robot created by our organizers......






What will you achieve by participating in ROBOTECH 2012?


After the Workshop is complete each Participant will receive a letter of acknowledgement informing the successful completion of course duly signed by THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF DTU Prof.P.B Sharma and CEO of Omnipresent Robot Technology Mr.Aakash Sinha.


After the workshop Team AIR will organize the competition for workshop attending students,testing them on their skills of building a robot they have learned in the workshop.The winners will be will be given prizes and also be inducted in the team AIR,preparing and leading them to make intelligence machine in future, participating in world events etc.


In addition,top designer students will also receive a special REFERENCE LETTERS from Omnipresent Robot Technologies and will also been given a chance to do a INTERNSHIP AT Omnipresent Robot Technologies. 


ALL member of ROBOTECH 2012 will be mentored and guided free of cost on subject of AI, ROBOTICS and MACHINE LEARNING for one complete YEAR on the website of TEAM AIR managed by Omnipresent Robot Tech and Team AIR.
