Color Variations International 3D printed Humanoid Robot Workshop

This Robotic workshop will be the first of its kind in India and is about Designing and building a microcontroller based 3D printed 16 DOF Humanoid Robot, where you can learn the art of making your own humanoid robots. This workshop teaches you the fundamentals of designing and building humanoid robots by integration with a micro- controller and manufacturing parts using 3D printing. It also focuses on conceptualization and designing of complex systems and will help to understand the concepts related to embedded systems, microcon- troller and manufacturing of robot parts.

Apart from the theoretical sessions, participants would be working on humanoid robot kit specially designed by Team Amrita. This kit includes, Arduino 16 channel servo controller board, sensors, actu- ators, 3d printed mechanical parts, remote controller etc. Hands on sessions on this kit will help the participants to enhance their embed- ded C programming and PC hardware interfacing skills.

COMPETITION After the hands on theory and practical experience gained from build- ing the Humanoid Robot during the workshop, team wise competi- tions will be conducted for the participants. Attractive cash prizes will be awarded to the best teams who win the competitions. Certificates will be given on successful completion of the workshop.
