Swarm Robotics and Advanced Image Processing
Introduction
This workshop will provide students a clench of robotics and image processing. They will learn the Automation technology and get better understanding and grip on its application. They will be developing their own models by their own hands. These projects focus on the application and use of technology along with their internal working so that they can grasp the concepts well.
