Control Systems Workshop

This workshop will be conducted by

LemaLabs , an a group of robotics enthusiasts from IIT Madras.

At this workshop, you will witness the demonstration of an autopilot system

used in aeroplanes. This has been developed from scratch at the Centre for

Innovation, IITMadras. This demonstration will be part of a lecture session

which will be followed by a hands-on session. In the hands on session, you

will learn about an interesting control systems' problem -  Building a servo

motor from a DC motor.

Most of the work done by automation wing of an industry is focussed on

control systems. Control Systems is the backbone of most technical projects,

be it controlling an aircraft or sending a man on the moon! The use of

control systems in robotics is increasing rapidly with the emphasis shifting

from the conventional to more autonomous and intelligent robots. This

workshop is designed to introduce control systems and equipping you with the

fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge required for robotics. Our

attempt is to give you an insight into this vibrant field and provide you

with tools that get you started immediately.

The workshop is being conducted by LemaLabs, an education group incubated in

IITMadras. The faculty and student members of LemaLabs, have been involved

in several control systems' projects which include an inverted pendulum, a

self balancing bicycle, quad-rotor control to name a few. LemaLabs' members

were part of the team which represented India at the International Aerial

Robotics Competition(IARC) 2009 and 2010. IARC is the battleground where

elite teams from around the world compete for supremacy in aerial robotics.
