HAPTICS Robotic arm

Haptics Robotic arm is a workshop which will be conducted in YCCE on 4th and 5th of September 2010. by the ieee fraternity @ ycce in association with the Technophilia, Mumbai.
The students will be taught to build and program a robotic arm.The main objective of this workshop is to get students acquainted with the AVR which is a advanced micro-controller and introduce them the usage of exoskeletons, which will serve as an input to the robotic arm.
