International Research School

Electronics and Robotics project

Trainer: Fernando Solís González (Mexico)

I was born 16th January 1985 in Chiapas, Mexico. I have participated in IRS since 2008. I graduated from Autonomous Popular University of the State of Puebla (UPAEP) in Mechatronics Engineering, I´m a Postgraduate student in Integrated Manufacturing Systems and Quality Strategies in UPAEP.

Member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Research Interests and Expertise: Virtual Instrumentation, Electronics, Mechanics, Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Robotics and Automation.

My research focus is on design of interface for simulation and control of industrial robot manipulators combining virtual instrumentation and computer aided design and simulation and validation of performance of Flexible Manufacturing Systems.

Assistent Trainer: Sergey Zverev (Russia)

In 2009 I graduated from The Moscow Region State University, Department of Physics and Mathematics. At present I am a postgraduate student at the same university. I work as an IT teacher in Moscow and Moscow region schools. I am interested in video games development and robotics.

Title of the Project: Design of robots and mechanisms

Base organization: Autonomous Popular University of State of Puebla

Annotation:

Robotics is a broad discipline with commercial applications spanning manufacturing, defense, space, entertainment, education and service.

The workshop will research and explore possible robot applications in domestic and other everyday environments.

The principal target of the workshop is that the students design and build a robotic system that has the capability to make assigned tasks, to avoid obstacles and move within a controlled environment. At the end of the Workshop the students could apply their knowledge to improve their designs and functions of the robot.

Goals:

Describe the basic problems of the movable robotics
That the students, accompanied by the advisory professor, inquire about the robotics and its history.
Fortify a tradition of scientific thought in the students.
Use of software as work´s tools.
Learn basic concepts of programming of microprocessors.
Know and build different types of mechanisms and electronics devices.
Stimulate the interest by physical and mathematical sciences and the scientific reasoning.

Requirements of students

It is not necessary knowledge in electronics, mechanics or robotics system.

Expected results:

The development of robotics projects can obtain much experience:

Stimulus of the imagination and creativity when designing new applications.
Development of manual abilities.
Consolidation of the contents learned in theoretical classes with practical experiments.
Development of the team work, handling of conflicts, etc.
Satisfaction of the student when obtaining fast and concrete profits.
Development of aptitudes oriented to the profit of objectives: patience, flexibility, tenacity as opposed to new problems and challenges.
Development of the critical and logical thought in technological surroundings.
Knowledge in the use of tools and technical concepts.
Total integration between hardware and software.
