MobileRobotics | Workshop on Mobile Controlled Robotics

MobileROBOTICS is the advance level workshop in which you can control your robot using your mobile phone. This workshop is dedicated to designing and controlling your machine using a cellphone. It also deals with microcontroller programming and customizing for mobile controlled machines. After the workshop, a student will be able to come up with a machine which can be controlled by using a remote Cellphone.
