An active Robotics Club functions at M-DIT Institute of Technology under the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Students from various disciplines are part of it. Robotics Club members use the facilities available at the Robotics lab which was setup at the college as part of e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative (eLSI) by IIT Bombay, a flagship project of MHRD through the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT).

Project exhibition at Silver Hills Higher Secondary School, Kozhikode.

A workshop on "Programming with Atmel Studio" was conducted on 27th March 2025 at 11:00AM at the eYantra Robotics Lab. The workshop was conducted to support students enrolled in the MOOC course "Embedded Systems and Robotics". The workshop aimed to provide hands-on experience with Atmel Studio, a popular development environment for embedded systems. Students gained practical knowledge of programming microcontrollers and developing embedded systems applications. 

Participants learned how to integrate proximity sensors with the Firebird robot, designed by IIT Bombay, to enhance its navigation and obstacle detection capabilities. 

“RoboConnect: Robotics Meets IoT” -   The session aimed to introduce participants to the core concepts and applications of robotics and IoT, providing them with an opportunity to learn from an experienced professional. 

The workshop was facilitated by Mr. Akash S R, Student Coordinator of the Robotics Club, MDIT. He provided an in-depth overview of topics such as ESP32, IoT, automation, robotics, IDE installation, programming basics, and the features of dual-core, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPIOs.

The workshop provided a comprehensive introduction to Arduino, covering its basics, microcontroller fundamentals, and various Arduino boards, as well as the Arduino IDE and programming. Hands-on sessions included LED and DC motor interfacing, introduction to sensors like HC05 and ultrasonic sensors, and practical tasks to reinforce the concepts learned.

During the workshop, the design and development of the robotic vehicle was discussed. Participants gained knowledge on Arduino programming, motor control, and sensor integration, as well as the various components and boards used in the vehicle's construction.

The workshop covered a comprehensive introduction to drones, including their types, uses, and applications, particularly in the military domain. It delved into the flying mechanism, control, and components of drones, as well as the process of building, programming, and flying them. Additionally, the workshop addressed crucial topics such as flying rules and regulations in India, drone registration, and culminated in a flying test.

The robotics workshop served as an interactive platform where the students explored, learned, and applied robotics principles. The workshop offered the participants a unique opportunity to delve into the world of robotics, providing theoretical knowledge along with practical experience through engaging activities.
