2. Why Study Robotics? Robotics is an excellent way to introduce the students to integrated STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Students participating in robotics learn about STEM careers and experience the same activities as professionals solving real-world problems Everyone – girls and boys alike – should get a chance to see how much fun it is learning engineering skills this way!

3. VISION: To develop a clear understanding of the computational and engineering related issues underlying the perception, planning and control mechanisms for completely autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of integrated systems.

5. USE of Robotics in Various Fields Industrial robot operating in a foundry Medicine (Robotic Hands), Defense (Bomb Squads), Climbing difficult terrains, under sea exploration and more.. Material handling: Picking, packing, and palletizing Material remover: Cutting, Grinding, Polishing Welding, Inspection of equipments (with visual cameras)

6. The Engineering Design Process (EDP) which is a framework used in nearly all engineering problems is also used in Robotics Design.

11. After students have learnt the basics, then what? There are lots of robotics competitions in which kids can participate, such as FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and Botball. Some are local, some statewide, some are regional. The tournaments tend to include multipart, real- world problems and research and occur over specific time periods (for instance, the FLL challenge is released in mid-Sept. each year. Competitions occur from Nov. through Feb.).
