ISG HOSTS 7TH MOBILE ROBOTICS WORKSHOP

Indian School Al Ghubra organized the Seventh Annual ISG Robotics workshop on

Begin –O-Robotics on the 6th and 7th of October 2017 in the school auditorium. The

workshop was conducted by the Department of Physics in association with Innovians

Technologies, Noida headed by Mr. Prateek Gupta. Over 280 students enthusiastically

took part in what was the 7th edition of the creativity-stimulating bonanza in the

school by the acclaimed robotics group from Noida.

The event was kick started with an introduction to electronics and robotics. An

explanation of Isaac Asimov’s laws of robotics followed. The first assignment of the

day was a manual robot. Each step was carefully demonstrated with the help of videos

and follow up assistance from the team. All the teams completed the wiring and

bolting and successfully tested their bots.

The next day saw the completion of the line follower, and its due testing. The

Innovians helped the teams overcome a variety of obstacles enrooted to the bot

testing. The second session of the day involved creation of the ‘pick and place robot’.

A series of four controls were used to navigate the robot, to pick up items and place

them in the desired spot. A competition based on this followed where two teams

combined to try and pick 10 bottles and move it to the designated region.

By conducting a series of workshops, Robotics club aims at giving the students an edge

over others in the field of technology. All in all, the workshop was an unforgettable

experience with great learning outcomes and will be cherished by all participants.
