DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING, GAUHATI UNIVERSITY
The announcement of the formation of Robotics Club as part of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, GUIST was made on 16 September, 2018 during the valedictory session of UTKRANT 1.0 hosted by the Start-Up and Innovation Cell, GUIST.
The primary objective of the Robotics Club is to inculcate a sense of creation and innovation using robot oriented designs. Man-Machine Interaction (MMI) is expected to be common mode of communication between human being and the machines. It shall take place through vision, speech, wired and wireless connections. A significant portion of the working of these systems shall be autonomous decision making facilitated by learning aided designs and adaptive operations.
The Robotics Club is expected to help the young minds develop fascination towards robotics and related system design. The club will enable the students, research scholars and hobbyist to apply the knowledge gained in the classroom or formal education in real-world scenarios. The club is expected to serve as a platform to apply knowledge creatively, explore how systems interact, both with each other and with the environment. The primary aim of the club is to help the members “thinking technologically ".
The objectives of the club is to:
1. Facilitate design of robotics system
2. Enable the application of machine learning tools for practical application
3. Enthuse members to creativity for design and development of efficient man-machine communication
4. Develop a mind-set use of computer programming for real-world problem solving
5. Enhance the understanding about the working of robots and their importance.
Proposed activities of the club:
· Awareness programmes and events on robotics
· Workshops on robotics
· Competition on design of robotics
