What do you think is a

robot? The word robot originally was

supposed to mean a slave

It is a machine which performs a varietyof tasks, either using manual externalcontrol or intelligent automation

A Puma being controlled externally or aASIMOV trying to kick a football are allrobots

What Is RobotIcs ? Robotics is a multi disciplinary field

of engineering encompassing thevistas of Mechanical design

Electronic control

Artificial Intelligence

It finds its uses in all aspects of our

life whether it is using an automatedvacuum cleaner or when we aredreaming of exploring the Redplanet and setting up a human

colony there

ROBOTIX in IIT KHARAGPUR

Our domain spans artificialintelligence, manually controlledmachines and self-controlledautonomous robots.

Our aim is to encourage automationand intelligent robotics amongstudents in India and help studentspursue careers in Robotics.

Our core values are aimed atdeveloping a quality focusedtechnical event while exploring newvistas.

ROBOTIX An Overview ROBOTIX is the national level Robot Design

competition of IIT Kharagpur

ROBOTIX was started in 2001, with theTechnical festival IDEON, as an in-houserobotics competition, with a modestparticipation of 10 teams

Since the humble start Robotix has grown asan event, in both quality of participation andnumber of teams and colleges participating
