Project Internship Program - Robotics & Embedded Systems

A year after we had launched our Project Internship Program in Robotics & Embedded Systems, We have now split the course into 2 separate ones, one for Embedded Systems & one for Robotics. This split comes out of feedback and requests for more on robotics. Both the new courses will be 30hrs in duration and happen as 10 classes of 3hrs each.

Robotics Internship Program

##### THIS IS THE OLD PROGRAM - THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER OFFERED UNLESS YOU ARE A COMPLETE GROUP OF 10 OR MORE STUDENTS #####

A 40 Hr long Exciting training course in Robotics &Embedded Systems using Arduino. This course has been tailor made to give you complete hands-on exposure to embedded systems and robotics. The course focuses on extensive project based learning methodology with a special focus oninterfacing different types of hardware – sensors, actuators, displays & other devices (GPS, GSM, ZIGBEE, IR Remotes, etc).

Well, We can hear you asking ‘So Whats this Arduino? Why not a PIC?’ – See for yourself what google trends has to show

Check out a Sample Project Videos of what you will learn to do...
