Robotics SIG


To be in the RoGue, you need just one qualification- to walk, talk and breathe robotics.

An evergreen field that brings engineers from several branches together is robotics. With a hugely growing rise in popularity worldwide, is is impossible to imagine a technical fest without robots navigating their way through mazes and performing incredible tasks.
Seeing the rapid rise of robotics and to aid students in various robotics events, a group of IE members joined hands to form RoGue. Comprising some of the best robotics brains in college, this SIG is today the ideal place for enthusiasts to meet and discuss various aspects of the field.
This SIG mainly consists of 3 parts, it may be broken up into 3 different SIGS depending upon the number of participating members.
  • Basics of robotics
  • Image Processing
  • Microcontroller Programming 
What has been done so far:
  • Series of lectures and hands-on sessions on basics of robotics with the aim of participating in Roboliga (Nationwide event held 2 years back During Engineer).
  • Lectures and programming sessions on image processing
  • Conducted an event ‘a-maze-ing’ last year. This event required the first years to navigate a remote controlled bot through a maze that consisted of timed gates and sensors all of which was built by IE members
  • Discussion on problem statements of various fests.
