In this session, we are introducing touch sensors & it's response to the student. This is accomplished by making a robo piano that plays different musical notes on touch.
Fundamentals of AI & ML
Mirror mirror on the wall
This session introduces the student to Artificial Intelligence, uses of AI & applications of AI. The student explores face detection extension in this session & makes robot mimic human expressions.
Fruit Ninja
This session makes the student familiar with the video sensing application of AI. Here, the student makes a fruit ninja game which can be played by video sensing controls.
Treasure Hunt
Kit is programmed to detect text, read aloud & act according..
Global Weather Station
This session introduces student to the speech recognition application of AI. Here the quarky acts like Alexa & it detects human speech. On speech recognition, it fetches & displays weather data.
AI & ML for Robots
Trace the path
In this session, the student learns to calibrate IR sensors to detect colors & then based on the response of the IR sensor controls robotic movement. Finally, cumulating all the concepts to make a line-following robot.
Get the pizza!
In this session, the student develops an autonomous driving pizza delivery bot. Here, the robot drives itself to the pizza store automatically with the help of card & road sign detection.
Follow me
In this session, the student develops a robot that follows human body movements. This session gives an idea about gesture-controlled robots by making the student develop a hand-movement-controlled car.
AI Assistance Bot
In this session, the student is made to develop an assistance bot that recognizes the human's speech commands & accordingly recognizes the destination, thereby driving automatically to that location.
Functional Robotics
Sweeping Bot
This project introduces student to actuators & their applications in real life. This session covers the concepts of servo motor, it's calibration & operation. This is accomplished by making a sweeping bot
Tilt & Move
This project introduces student to the concept of accelerometers. It takes into application the accelerometer of the mobile phone & thereby moving the robot based on mobile tilt.
Check the edge
This project introduces student to Ultrasonic sensor, it's connections & working. This is accomplished by making an automated edge detector robot.
Smart Dustbin-1
This project brings in the real-world applications of robotics, by making an Ultrasonic sensor based smart dustbin; featuring automated lid open/close & garbage level detection
