A two-day Swarm Robotics Workshop was conducted
for students of Classes VI to IX by Mr. Shubham Gupta from Vigyantram. The
workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation, with 23 students from classes
VI-IX registering and attending the sessions.
On Day 1, students were introduced to the
fundamentals of Swarm Robotics, including its applications, hardware and
software requirements, and Node MCU programming. The session laid a strong
foundation for understanding the intricacies of swarm systems.
Day 2 focused on advanced topics, such as
programming for swarm algorithms, path planning, and task allocation. Students
also explored wireless communication modules, including RF transmitters and
receivers. The session further delved into project preparation, covering
essential steps like designing circuit layouts, selecting components, and
testing the product.
As a hands-on project, participants developed a
Wi-Fi Swarm Robot that replicated the movements of a team-controlled smart bot,
demonstrating seamless behaviour mirroring. This engaging project showcased the
students' newly acquired skills.
The workshop concluded with a written test to
evaluate the participants’ understanding.
Selected teams will represent the school at the National
Level Championship at IIT Delhi on January 11–12, 2025. The
qualifiers teams are:
Class (IX)
Ishaan Singh, Yatin, Rohit Yadav &
Dakshesh Khatri
Class (VI)
Chitransh Gupta, Tejaswi Gaur, Manan Kadian,
Deivik Goyal & Omji Singh
