Vision Robotics

This workshop basically deals with designing of robots, their physical body and their controlling Robot using MATLAB. It is best suited to beginners who are taking their first step towards MATLAB. In this workshop basically deals with designing various kinds of electronic sensors and circuits and their use in making autonomous robots using a microcontroller. After the workshop students come up with a Wired Robot, Wireless Robot, Line tracking robot, Computer Controlled Robots and many more.
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a numerical computing environment and fourthgeneration programming language. Developed by Math Works, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C& C++.Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numerical computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine, allowing access to symbolic computing capabilities. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and Model-Based Design for dynamic and embedded systems.
