This exebit, we'll be having an exciting hands-on session on robotics with Balaji Lakshmanan, a student of IIT Madras who is currently the founder & CEO at Geeky Technology & Consulting. While at IIT Madras, he researched in area of Robotics and Robot learning/Multi-Robot systems at the department of Computer Science and Engineering. The workshop will cover hands-on robot making and controlling it from computer. It is aimed at enthusing students to continue working in Robotics, take part in competitions, and keep doing bigger projects!

The cost of this workshop is Rs. 300 per head. This is to cover the cost of the kits which will be given to each team during the workshop.
