M. Tech.

(Intelligent Systems and Robotics)

Course Overview
This branch of M. Tech. (Intelligent Systems and Robotics) is specifically working on the Robots and Embedded Systems related research and development in SGVU Jaipur. The word "robot" originates from the Czech word for forced labor, or serf. It was introduced by playwright Karel Capek, whose fictional robotic inventions were much like Dr. Frankenstein's monster -- creatures created by chemical and biological, rather than mechanical, methods. But the current mechanical robots of popular culture are not much different from these fictional biological creations. Basically a robot consists of: A mechanical device, such as a wheeled platform, arm, or other construction, capable of interacting with its environment Sensors on or around the device that are able to sense the environment and give useful feedback to the device Systems that process sensory input in the context of the device's current situation and instruct the device to perform actions in response to the situation In the manufacturing field, robot development has focused on engineering robotic arms that perform manufacturing processes.

In the space industry, robotics focuses on highly specialized, one-of-kind planetary rovers. Unlike a highly automated manufacturing plant, a planetary rover operating on the dark side of the moon -- without radio communication -- might run into unexpected situations. At a minimum, a planetary rover must have some source of sensory input, some way of interpreting that input, and a way of modifying its actions to respond to a changing world. Furthermore, the need to sense and adapt to a partially unknown environment requires intelligence (in other words, artificial intelligence).

Course Objective
Our mission is to create international standards in the area of Intelligent Systems and Robotics, to produce highly professional, competent engineers contributing to nation building and a brand name for SGVU, Jaipur as a temple of learning.

This course aims to nurture minds towards creativity and excellence, their talents towards high quality research in the adventurous area of Intelligent Systems and Robotics. We have our state of the art facility to learn complex concepts of Artificial intelligence and advanced electronics, both essential for developing high quality robotic projects.

Program Highlights
During this 4 semester course, Apart from the technologies included in curriculum, student will be working with highly sophisticated software and hardware packages such as:

PLC- Programmable Logic Controller

A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or lighting fixtures. PLCs are used in many industries and machines.

MANIPULATOR ARM
A Robotic arm having 4 DOF so that students can apply and analyze the forward and inverse kinematics principles. WEBOTS Webots is a professional robot simulator widely used for educational purposes.. Allows creation of 3D virtual worlds populated with multiple simulated robots. Supports customized wheeled, legged or flying robots.

Microsoft Robotics Studio

Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (Microsoft RDS, MRDS) is a Windows-based environment for robot control and simulation. Features include: a visual programming tool, Microsoft Visual Programming Language for creating and debugging robot applications, web-based and windows-based interfaces, 3D simulation (including hardware acceleration), easy access to a robot's sensors and actuators and support for a number of languages including C# and Visual Basic .NET, JScript and IronPython.
