Unmanned Ground Vehicle

This workshop is a secure platform for students to enter into the field of robotics and see how actual things work. Witness the cutting edge technology from basic integration of sensors to microcontrollers to how can we make our robot a unmanned ground vehicle. The Robot will be able to navigate itself and relay a video simultaneously. The Robot can be controlled by Ground Station( Laptop ) using wireless device.
