| All about robo TRix Workshop |
| |
roboTRix is a workshop especially designed by TRI for newbie's and robotics enthusiasts of all disciplines where you will be introduced to the basic fundamentals of robotics and will learn to apply them in real life.. Hands-on-sessions will expose you to the minutest and the starkest problems encountered while building a robot. The students will learn the basics concepts and will gain the practical experience while working on a robotics kit Xcavater specially designed by TRI. Using Xacavater they will make a robotic vehicle equipped with a pick n place mechanism having three degrees of freedom.
What we promise the students is not just building robots, but something greater - a passion for robotics coupled with the knowledge and confidence to take on the world with their self-made machines.
The concepts that will be covered are :- |

INTRODUCTION :
Robots /Robotics / Process of building robots / Elements of any robot
In this session basic idea of robots and robotics is made clear. Participants are introduced to process of building machine/robots. More emphasis is given on machine design approach for a competition. Knowledge on basic elements of any robots like mode of locomotion, kind of actuators, transmission system and control system is given.
ROBOT LOCOMOTION: Wheeled / Legged /Climbing /Flying /Floating
Details on various modes of locomotion like wheeled, tracked, legged, flying etc is given to participants. More focus is given to wheeled and tracked robots, as they are most common and preferred. In this concepts of vehicle dynamics are made clear like effect of center of mass, payload on robot etc. Crucial factors like width of robot, length of robot, wheel size, and torque required etc for designing vehicle for competition are discussed. Brief introduction on legged robots is also given.
ACTUATORS: Motors /IC Engines /Pneumatics /Smart Materials
Various kinds of actuators, which can be used to drive the system, are introduced to participants. Concepts related to simple actuators like relay to latest one like smart material are taught through working models and videos. Here motors are given more attention, as they are most common and simple to use. Working principle of motor is taught in detail and hands on session are also conducted.
TRANSMISSION: Gear /Belt Pulley /Chain Sprocket /Rack and Pinion /Screw and Nut Arrangement
Various kinds of transmission systems, which can be used, are talked about. First the need of transmission system, its pros and cons are discussed. After general introduction, the major elements of transmission systems like gears, belt and pulleys; chain sprockets etc are discussed in detail. Comparisons of above said transmission systems are performed which further helps in deciding the most suitable transmission system. Theoretical concepts related to these systems (especially gears) are also taught to the students. More emphasis is given on the practical aspects of designing and use of these systems. |

GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICES: Bearing /Bushing /Coupling /Linkages
In this session the participants are told about the importance of applying good engineering practices while making a robust machine. The instructors, using their own experience as examples, teach them the importance of testing and doing the things in a proper way. Concepts related to bearing, bushings etc are discussed. The practical issues while implementing these are talked about. |
| |
Electrical Control Systems: DPDT Switches /Limit Switches /Relays /Connectors /RC Control
The final controlling of a machine after building it, is taught in this section. The various kinds of switches, relays etc are shown and taught to the participants. How to make the connections for a manual control is made clear with the help of hands on session. Use of RC control is also discussed in brief. |
