Program on Robotics & Image Processing

This workshop will provide participants a base to robotics. They will learn the automation technology and get better understanding and grip on its application. They will be developing their own models by their own hands. These projects focus on the application and use of technology rather than their internal working so that a person can grasp the concepts well. Hostenia.com Ltd. seeks to facilitate practical application of skills learnt in and out of the classroom, while producing an environment conducive to the growth of personal, educational, vocational, resourceful and creative skills of students and professionals.
