Introduction
Mobile robotic is a two day workshop focusing on the art of building mobile controlled robots operating on DTMF signals from the mobile phone. Building such controller-less robots is an ideal way to explore the field of electronics and basics of autonomous robotics. Participants will be able to apply concepts learned in the classrooms in new and interesting ways to create simple yet seemingly complex robotic creatures.
This workshop includes number of hands-on sessions on designing, analyzing and building a variety of circuits and using them as basic building blocks for different robots.
