Providing robotics education and training to students and professionals is the important mission of Advanced Robotics Research Organization. The workshops are systematically designed, keeping in mind a right balance between theoretical, practical and demonstrative sessions. The duration and course contents(alternate – course structure) have been developed so as to make the most out of the time students devote. Wherever possible, the courses are accompanied by the printed and soft copy of study material as well as the kit. A certificate of participation is also awarded to every participating student.
The Robotics Education Programs of ARRO have been systematically designed keeping in mind the latest developments in the field of robotics and needs of the students. These programs provide intensive class room and practical training, supplemented by study material and hands-on experience wherever needed.
ARRO has scheduled a workshop on Autonomous Robotics in Bangalore from July 16th to July 20th. This workshop cover the following topics spread over five days -
