This 60-hour course on embedded systems and robotics aims to provide students hands-on experience designing and building embedded systems and robots. The course objectives are to teach students how to interface microcontrollers with input/output devices and write embedded C/C++ programs. Key topics covered include AVR microcontrollers, embedded C/C++, interfacing sensors and motors, and robotics projects. Upon completing the course, students will be able to design and program basic embedded systems and robots, helping to apply their engineering knowledge in practical applications. The course is open to students studying electronics, electrical, computer science, IT and mechanical engineering.

1. Embedded Systems & Robotics (60Hrs)
Course Objective
In engineering courses (Diploma/B Tech) students read subjects like; C/C++, Basic Electronics/Electrical,
different types Sensors and Actuators, Microcontrollers and Microprocessors, different types of
communication protocols and about many more. But they do not get scope to use that knowledge
during their course. This course is especially designed to bridge that gap by providing an opportunity to
the students, so that they can write embedded C/C++ programs to interface different types of
input/output devices with the Microcontroller to do different projects. Now robotics is an emerging field
of technology. In many sectors in our industry, robots are replacing humans very rapidly. That is why in
this course students will also get some insight of robotics.
Course outcome
After completion of the training, students will able to:
 Understand the importance of embedded systems and robotics in our daily life.
 Identify different embedded devices.
 Co-related embedded systems with their university courses.
 Identify different components of embedded systems and robotics.
 Know about different features of a microcontroller.
 Write embedded C/C++ programs in different embedded systems programming platforms.
 Interfaced different input/output devices with a microcontroller.
 Design mechanical structure of a robot.
 Understand the robot configuration and sub-systems
 Interface different components of robot with microcontroller.
 Understand principle of robot programming.
