BrainWave Controlled Robotics

Here you will get the opportunity to learn the art of making robots which are controlled by the signals coming from your mind. This workshop teaches you the fundamentals of brainwaves and their applications in today’s world. This workshop will also provide guidance in the field of integrating Brainwave technology and Robotics (which generally involves a microcontroller, actuators, power supply, etc.) It also focuses on conceptualization and designing of complex systems in order to harness the power of mind in the form of brainwaves. This workshop will also help clear concepts related to embedded systems, artificial intelligence and automation.

What will you learn after attending the workshop:-

• Details on EEG based instruments.
• Details on microcontroller Programming the microcontroller using ARDUINO
• Interface Interfacing and controlling various devices like LED, motors, sensors etc with Microcontroller • Use of wireless devices such as a wireless Bluetooth module for different interface control
• Making of various types of robots, their algorithms and coding
• Use of brainwave sensors and it’s application
