SENTIENCE ‘11 – Robotic Competition by ACROM
ACROM, the Amrita Club for Robotics and Mechatronics, held its
maiden robotic competition-Sentience’11 from 5th March to 6th March. The events
judged the strength of the logic and the design of the robots against obstacles
such as sand traps, ramps and of course, robots from the opposing teams. The
event was inaugurated by our correspondent Br. Dhanraj Swamiji, by flagging off
the first event “Robothon”. “Robothon” was a robotic obstacle race that tested the
navigation on the track with obstacles placed at random. The first round required
the robot to navigate across bends and ramps placed at random intervals on the
track.
Day two witnessed “Battlebots”, a robot competition of “sumo”
proportions. The qualification round required the participants to push a black box
out of the ring; whereas, the second round had the robots furiously pushing the
competitors out of the ring. After furious struggles the team PUMA won the first
place.
Sentience’11, under the patronage and support of its mentor Dr.
T.S.B. Sudarshan, was a huge success. The event was attended by the Associate
Dean, Dr. Rakesh S.G.; mentors Dr. T.S.B. Sudarshan and Dr. S.R. Nagaraja, Chair of
student’s activities; Dr. Shikha Tripathi and various faculty members.

Dr. Satish Kumar, Director, TBRL, Chandigarh on “Shock Waves & their
Applications”.
The symposium featured invited talks from distinguished speakers
from various institutions such as IIT Chennai, IIT Guwhati, IISc Bengaluru, BARC,
DRDL etc., and touched upon the emerging facets of research in the area of
shockwaves. Detailed discussions were held on topics such as “Study of Materials
Under Intense Shock Dynamic Loading”, “Heat Transfer and Force Measurement
Studies in Hypersonic Flows”, “Unimolecular HF Elimination of
Monofluorodimethylether and 1,2-difluorodimethyl- ether in the Temperature
Range of 800-1500K”, “Stress Analysis of Hydrogen Recombiner Test Chamber
(HRTC) for Shock Load due to Internal Explosion”, and “Shock Wave based
Therapeutic Device”. The final presentation of the day looked at the occurrences
of Tsunami and its impact on civilization.

LinearDifferential Equations- ANSNDE-2011”
The two day National workshop on ‘Analytical and Numerical
Solutions of Non-linear Differential Equations’ was held on 18th and 19th March
2011. The workshop was attended by 80 participants of whom 34 were from
various parts of the country and 46 from different parts of Karnataka. The event
was inaugurated with a ceremony presided over by the by guests Prof P.G.
Siddheshwar and Dr. P.S. Datti; the Correspondent, Br. Dhanraj Swamiji; Prof. C.G.S.

address of Prof P.G. Siddheshwar.
Two invited talks were scheduled on day one. The first speaker of the
day was Prof P.S. Datti of TIFR Bangalore. He spoke on solving Linear and Non-
Linear PDE using different transformation methods like Backlund Transformation
method, Point and Hodograph Transformation, Porous Medium Equation, Burger
Equation etc.
The next talk was by Prof. Pradeep G. Siddheshwar of Bangalore
University. In his talk, he emphasized the importance of mathematical modeling,
and its role in non-mathematical disciplines. He discussed the problems which
arise in non-linear equations such as the slipper bearing problem, flow due to a
stretching film, non-Darcy flow through porous media etc. He discussed the
Differential Transform and Homotopy based methods in great detail and stressed
the importance of Mathematica and Matlab. He called upon all researchers to be
tech-savvy and keep themselves abreast of the latest developments.
