BRIEF INTRODUCTION ON FIRE-FIGHTING ROBOTICS:
Fire has been the source of widespread mishaps all across the world. A fire fighter is an emergency safety professional who responds to fire scenes to extinguish fires and assist fire victims. Thousands of fire-fighters give their life in dousing the fires and rescuing the people from the fire affected region.

We at YOGIKI take our inspiration from this and have decided to promote the automation of the same on the very small level successfully. The aim of this workshop is to find the exact location of the fire in a maze provided at the arena, once the location of the fire is located the fire extinguishing mechanism will blow off the fire. The automation, shown in this small level or scale should be able to kindle the fire within the students to go ahead and open up their minds and make such innovative products on the industrial level.

WORKSHOP COURSE CONTENT:
The course content elaborated in the Autonomous Robotics Workshop can be explained better in the following heads:

Introduction to Robotics

Various component of robotics

Discussion on the mechanical components

Different types of actuators

Basic electronics

Fire detecting methods.

Introduction to microcontrollers

Introduction to embedded C.

Small programs of interfacing.

Various algorithms of robot control.

In the span of two days time the participants will learn the concepts of-

1. Basic Robotics
2. Different types of actuators
3. Motor Drivers
4. Different types of Sensors
5. Microcontroller
6. Different types of Batteries
7. Programming in C

Workshop will contain a take-away kit which will consist of the following parts:

A fibre glass chassis

Three DC motors

Two nylons wheels

One omni wheel

Microcontroller board

Two Line sensors

One Fire detection sensors

Fire extinguishing kit.

A battery and battery charger

Screw driver

Nuts and screws.

The workshop is going to be one of its kind and all members will be given a take-away kit. The kit will be accompanied by a CD which contains an elaborative explanation of the kit. The CD will be self-explanatory with complete steps of the workshop being mentioned. The kit, being a universal platform actually guarantees to provide the perfect base for all students to put their innovation into being and gear start into the very interesting field of robotics and will definitely allow the students to work ahead with all sorts of higher level projects, help of which can be found in the able hands of YOGIKI.

The kit also allows various interfacings and is capable of providing the best quality of experience to the students. Technical help from YOGIKI will always be provided for the same and YOGIKI aims at providing complete satisfaction to the students for the same.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

The workshop is going to be conducted on 4th and 5th September 2010

The workshop will be for 2 days spanning 8 hours per day.

The first day of workshop will be lecture sessions.

The second day will be the practical sessions in the laboratory.
