Prof Avinash S, Assistant Professor, Department of E and C, SDM IT, Ujire and Mr. Prashanth Kumar N, Hardware design Engineer, iWave systems Bangalore were the chief guests and resource persons
In the two days workshop, the resource persons touched upon Basics of Aurdino programming, Blue tooth communication, IR sensors, RFID sensors, and robotics and 55 students developed basic robotic and automated devices such as LED display, blue tooth enabled cars, automated fans, bulbs, Radiofrequency devices like smart cards and fast tag, etc
In the valedictory function, Prof S N Kakathkar motivated the students to develop the concept further, through their creative ideas. He urged them to design a few projects or models which can help the society in the days to come. To be in tune with the fast-developing scenario, Robotics, and home automation can be a part of the curriculum through which all students get an insight into the field, he added.
