Roboversity presents the Roboversity Animatronics Challenge - India's First Animatronics Competition in association with Techkriti'15 an annual technical symposium in India organized by IIT Kanpur.

Animatronics helps provide edge of the seat action seen in modern day movies like Iron Man and Transformers! Also dubbed as 'robotic art', animatronics aptly uses mechatronics to recreate naturalistic movements of imaginary beings. The Roboversity Animatronics Challenge is a training-and-competition series that helps you learn technical skills and compete with students from across the country. The objective of the challenge is to help students develop an understanding towards innovative next generation technologies and techniques.

Structure of the event

• Regional Level Workshops: Roboversity Animatronics Workshops in association with Techkriti'15, IIT Kanpur would be organized in your campus
• Regional Level Competitions: After the workshop, a regional level competition will be held among the participants to shortlist the toppers
• Grand Final Competition: Top participants from each regional center would participate in a Grand Finals on 21 March during Techkriti'15, an annual technical symposium in India organized by IIT Kanpur to compete with each other and bring out the champions

About Animatronics Workshop:

In the Animatronics workshop, students will design an Animatronic hand that simply mimics the hand movements of the person controlling it. Mechatronics experts from the Roboversity team will guide the participants to build the project from scratch using servo motors, flex sensors and Arduino microcontroller board.
