Syllabus for
Bachelor of Technology (Robotics and Mechatronics)
Academic Year  (2023)

This programme integrates Robotics and Mechatronics. Robotics emphasise on synergistic integration of mechanical structures, mechanisms, electrical and electronic components, electromechanical sensors and actuators, microcontrollers, and programming, whereas Mechatronics, covers synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, control theory, computer science, and electronics to manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in engineered systems. Programme is offered in multi-disciplinary nature, which combines mechanical, electronics and computing engineering and will add versatility to the graduates' capabilities. Graduates will be able to adapt flexibly to a wide range of industries, and make contributions in developing new technologies and pioneering new approaches in production. Graduates will also be able to upgrade their knowledge and skills by pursuing their studies in local or overseas universities. The programme prepares graduates to learn how to build robots and gadgets as required in specialized areas such as automation and robotics, wafer fabrication, aerospace or biomedical engineering.
The B.Tech degree in Robotics and Mechatronics will provide a curriculum spread through class room learning and experiential learning through hands on, Internship, and project work. Students will learn fundamental theory, modeling methods, hardware components, interfacing requirements, simulation and programming tools, and practical applications of mechatronics and robotics. Specifically, real-world mechatronics and robotics systems will provide an avenue for physics-based system modeling. In addition to mechanical aspects, students will learn about building-blocks of mechatronics and robotics, i.e., sensing, actuation, computing technologies, and algorithms, thus being introduced to real-world tools used by practicing professionals. Having learned the fundamental theory, modeling, hardware, and programming tools through core courses, students can specialize in one of three areas, namely, assistive mechatronic and robotic technologies; mobile robotics; or microrobotics.

Mobile robots are now enabling human beings to physically reach and explore unchartered territories in the Universe. Be a place as distant as Mars, in abysmal depths of ocean, or shrouded by thick glaciers of Antarctic, mobile robots help exploring everything; yet this is just the beginning. Even in day to day life autonomous cars hold a potential to revolutionize transportation and domestic mobile robots help humans in cleaning, elderly help, etc. National defence is an area replete with the use of mobile robots. This course will present various aspects of design, fabrication, motion planning, and control of intelligent mobile robotic systems. The focus of the course is distributed equally on the computational aspects and practical implementation issues and thereby leads to a well-rounded training. The course will give students an opportunity to design and fabricate a mobile robotic platform and program it to apply learned theoretical concepts in practice as a semester long class project.

Robot locomotion: Types of locomotion, hopping robots, legged robots, wheeled robots, stability, maneuverability, controllability.

Mobile robot kinematics and dynamics: Forward and inverse kinematics, holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, kinematic models of simple car and legged robots, dynamics simulation of mobile robots, mobile robot actuators

Perception: Proprioceptive/Exteroceptive and passive/active sensors, performance measures of sensors, sensors for mobile robots like global positioning system (GPS), Doppler effect-based sensors, vision based sensors, uncertainty in sensing, filtering.

Localization: Odometric position estimation, belief representation, probabilistic mapping, Markov localization, Bayesian localization, Kalman localization, positioning beacon systems.

Introduction to planning and navigation: path planning algorithms based on A-star, Dijkstra, Voronoi diagrams, probabilistic roadmaps (PRM), rapidly exploring random trees (RRT), Markov Decision Processes (MDP), stochastic dynamic programming (SDP), Mobile robot applications
