  • Arduino Open

  • 30th March 2022
    ERC in collaboration with CTE, announces Arduino Open. Its amazing that how you can process something as functional as robotic arm and something as trivial as blinking an LED with a single-board. With Arduino the only limit is your imagination. Solve the questions given in the problem statement within the stipualted time to win exciting prizes.
  • Robotics Hackathon

  • 3rd October 2020 - 10th October 2020
    ERC in Collaboration with CTE brings you - the Intelligent Robotics Hackathon. The task will challenge you to code up a robot that can display intelligent behavior. We hope the task will bring out the best of your technical and logical thinking abilities.
  • Tech Talk

  • 3rd October 2020
    In the Tech Talk by Mihir Kulkarni is he talked about Ignition, the new up and coming powerful open source simulator set to take over the robotics world. He is currently pursuing his PhD from University of Nevada, Reno and recently did extensive work with Ignition during his GSOC internship.





The best way to learn is to get your hands dirty. Keeping this in mind, we have prepared a set of mini-projects for you to dive into the field of robotics. Together, the projects cover a wide variety of fields so that there is something to try, no matter what your area of interest.

The projects are designed to be completed in 5-6 weeks in small teams. Each project has been allotted ERC members as mentors. Every week, you will be given resources to learn about and practice a concept required to complete the project. The mentors will be there to solve your doubts and help you troubleshoot. They will also hold weekly meetings to take project updates and help out with any problems.

Mini project registrations are now closed.

However, you can still attempt any of them to get started with robotics!
