Objectives:
To provide an opportunity and atmosphere in which students may test theory learned in the
classroom in an actual working situation and discover the value of work and the rewards of
accomplishment.
To insure a natural transition to the higher level of professional preparation as a complement
to the liberal education goals of the Institution.
1. Batch Formation:
Students have to form batches through a formal letter to the HOD, indicating batch
members, leader, batch name (A minimum of three and a maximum of four members per
batch are allowed).
2. Calendar of Events
The detailed scheduled will be notified during the interlude period of 7th
and 8th
Semesters.
3. Project Selection
Project can be undertaken in Industry / Research / Service organisation or in-house
4. Attendance
Attendance for Project Work will be treated on par with any other practical / laboratory
course. Each batch must maintain a separate notebook, which serves as a project diary. The
guide’s signature against the dates is the basis for attendance.
5. Project Approval
A proposal of the project work (Duly approved by the Guide) including the Project Title,
Profile of the Organisation, Problem Genesis, Problem Definition, Objectives, Literature
Review, Research Methodology, Project Plan, Expected outcome, Utility and Calendar of
events to be submitted before the deadline given by the Department.

OUTCOME
After the completion of the course the students would gain the basic knowledge about
the industrial robotic manipulators and autonomous robots. The course would cover
studies on kinematics, control and trajectory planning of different configurations of
industrial robot in detail. The idea about the configurations and kinematics of mobile
robots is also offered in brief.
