Madras Institute of Technology Anna University, Chennai-44 Chromepet
Two Days workshop on Object Tracking Robot using Image Processing 18 & 19 - Oct 2014 Organised by Division of Mechatronics The Department of Production Technology Madras Institute of Technology Anna University Chennai 44
INTRODUCTION
In the recent years interactive robots, living together with people in non-industrial application areas are gaining importance. Such ubiquitous robot applications include various services such as disaster rescue, home use, health care, transportation, education etc. Among the technologies, this workshop focuses on how to avoid and track an object well because it gives robots the interactivity. Object tracking can be defined as the process of segmenting an object of interest from a video scene and keeping track of its motion, orientation, occlusion etc., in order to extract useful information. This workshop will provide a base to Robotics and Image Processing. They will learn the Machine Vision technology and get better understanding and grip on its application. There will be hands on experience on Image acquisition and Image Processing Toolbox. They will be developing their own models by their own hands. Upon completion attendees will get a certificate of participation.
COURSE CONTENTS
Introduction to Robotics Introduction to Image Processing. Recent trends in Machine Vision and its application. Hands on session - MATLAB Introduction to RISC controllers. Interfacing of Controller with MATLAB. Assembly of Robo Kit. Hands on session - Object Tracking Robot. ABOUT US
ANNA UNIVERSITY Anna University was established on 4th September 1978 as a unitary type of university by merging renounced engineering institution namely College of Engineering Guindy, Madras Institute of Technology Chrompet, School of Architecture & Planning Guindy & Alagappa College of Engineering Guindy. It offers higher education in Engineering & Technology and allied sciences relevant to current and projected needs of the society. Besides promoting research and disseminating knowledge gained from there, it also fosters co-operation between academic and communities.
MIT Madras Institute of Technology, Chrompet is one of the campuses of Anna University. It was started in the year 1949 by Mr.C.Rajam. The broad-based education, coupled with practice oriented training in their specially, has enabled the students to MIT to handle with skill and success a wide variety of technical problems. The MIT has developed into an important canter of engineering education and earned an excellent reputation in both India and abroad.
MECHATRONICS Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent, computer control in the design and manufacture of products and processes and it has futuristic application in the cutting edge technology. Mechatronics system engineering has gained global interest in the past decade from the educational and industrial sectors. This unique inter disciplinary programme is launched for the first time in India at MIT campus in the year 1998. Mechatronics is essential in the design of intelligent products. It allows engineers to transform their concepts into reality. Within the next few decades, the trade of intelligent products with improved flexibility, performance, reliability and maintenance will be crucial for the economic vitality of any country. Mechatronics has wide range of applications in robotics, industrial, home automation, inline assembly of automobiles, aerospace, nuclear and marine engineering.
ELIGIBLITY The program is open to the Under Graduate and Post-Graduate students of engineering colleges/universities from all disciplines. Participants are limited to 30 teams.
PRE-REQUISITES The participants are requested to bring laptop fully charged to the venue
