Escalade 5.0 National Robotics Contest IIT Guwahati (2016)
Theme:
The team of four students has participated in ESCLADE by IIT Guwahati and won first prize. Theme of the contest was design and manufacture of two robots. The automatic robot had to solve an unknown maze and pick up and put two blocks at the end arena. The manual robot had to climb by support of two walls and place the blocks at specified places.
e-Yantra Lab Setup at PES’s MCOE, Pune.
About e-Yantra
An initiative by department that aims to create the next generation of Embedded Systems Engineers with a practical outlook to provide solutions for the real world problems. This lab is established in 2015-16 to train, guide and support the students in the field of Embedded Systems and Robotics through various courses, workshops, seminar and projects.
Benefits of e-Yantra Lab
- Increased enthusiasm amongst students.
- BE projects with the help from e-Yantra open source community.
- Better performance at Robotics competitions such as Robocon, ESCLADE, Techfest, e-Yantra.
- Eligibility for participating in e-Yantra Ideas Competition and e-Yantra Symposium.
- Chance to receive Internship in Embedded Systems from IIT Bombay.
- Better prospects for engaging with other NMEICT projects.
Inauguration of e-Yantra Lab
After the successful completion of TBT-2016 and TBT Challenge-2016, e-LSI has set the e-yantra lab in P.E.S’s Modern College of Engineering, which is inaugurated by Principal Dr. Kalyani Joshi as well as online inauguration of lab is done by Mr. Kavi Arya, IIT Bombay in a Valedictory Function held on 29th July 2016.
Task Based Training-2016
- Task Based Training (TBT) is an endeavor to train teachers already familiar with Firebird V robot to implement hands-on experiments as the second phase of training through e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative (eLSI)
- On-line training over a period of 3-4 months where teacher teams are periodically assigned six tasks.
- Each task is aimed at learning a specific concept pertaining to Embedded Systems and Robotics
- Our college team has won Class ‘A’ Award in TBT-2016 and become eligible for e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative.
- Three robotics kits of Firebird- V received from IIT Bombay (around INR 80000).
e-Yantra TBT-Challenge 2016
- Upon Successful completion of all the tasks of TBT, teams are given the opportunity to participate in TBT challenge. Here, skills of the teachers are tested by assigning a project based on the abstraction of a real life scenario.
- Our college team has participated in TBT-Challenge -2016 and has successfully completed the challenge. College team is selected as a ‘One of the Top Performing Team’ all over India.
