About ThinkLABS

ThinkLABS (www.thinklabs.in), an IIT Bombay alumni venture, is the pioneer in

providing indigenously designed products and services in the field of Educational Robotics and
Embedded Systems. With strong backing from Society for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
(SINE), IIT Bombay and Indian Innovators Association (IIA), ThinkLABS addresses the
educational & training needs of rapidly growing domestic Embedded System and Robotics
industry through career oriented workshops, seminars and training modules for UG and
Graduate engineers.
We have developed innovative products and solutions targeting both K-12 and higher
education level including M.Sc. in Robotics and Embedded Sciences, PG Degree program
from University of Salford, U.K. Recently we have won award at World Education Summit
for most innovative product aimed at Science education at school level.
We have already catered to more than 40,000 engineering students through our various
offerings in 250+ colleges and going strong.
ThinkLABS has a young and dynamic team consisting of IITians, academicians and
strong industry interface, dedicated to create and deliver world class Robotics & Embedded
System Education Program in India and across the globe through our affiliations.
We have had a successful track record of conducting Robotics workshops during all
across India and wish to do so this year too.

eTRIx:
Introduction:
eTRIx is a two day workshop focusing on the art of building autonomous robots out of
discrete electronic components. Building such controller-less robots is an ideal way to explore
the field of electronics and basics of autonomous robotics.
Participants apply concepts learnt in classrooms in new & interesting ways, creating
simple yet seemingly complex task performing robotic creatures. The workshop inculcates
numerous hands-on sessions on designing, analyzing & building circuits that form basic
building blocks for different robots.
This workshop is ideal for beginners and enthusiasts who want to enter and explore the
emerging field of robotics.
Key Features:
Practical application on a specially designed kit
Interesting ways to create simple to complex robotic creatures
Guidance provided for advance level applications/programs
Personal attention provided to each & every participant
Introduction to multiple robotics behaviors
Duration: 2 days (16 hours)
Day 1

Introduction to Robotics and basics of robot construction

Basics of electronics and RC circuits
OP-AMP based sensors designing
Building line following robot
