Embedded systems span all aspects of modern life and there are many examples of their use. Telecommuni-
cations systems, Consumer electronics, Transportation systems etc from flight to automobiles increasingly are
using embedded systems.
The global demand for semiconductors is expected to remain robust in 2020 due to an increase in demand for
consumer electronics. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the worldwide semiconductor
sales set a new record of 227.5 billion in 2010. This rapid growth has opened a range of career opportunities in
the embedded design industry.
Three weeks exhaustive hands on training program on Robotics and Embedded Systems, based on the ac-
tual Industry demands. This course would provide the participants knowledge and experience on the fast grow-
ing field of Robotics and Embedded Systems. The program is an ideal foundation for Engineering, Diploma and
Science students striving to enter this exciting field.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition,
manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics,
and software.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates stated in a recent issue of “Scientific American” that 2007 is the year the robotics
industry will take off in the way the personal computer industry did 30 years ago.
The emphasis laid on developing fully autonomous Robots with focus on Swarm Robotics and 5DOF
Robotic arm
Fundamentals of Robotics
• Introduction to Robots
• Reviewing various sensors
• Actuators
• Motor Drives
Swarm Robotics
• Programming basic line following using ON/OFF control loop
• Introduction to PID control
• Introduction to Bot to Bot communication
• Advance packet based multi-bot communication protocol
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands
of transistors into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when com-
plex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. The microprocessor is a VLSI de-
vice. The term is no longer as common as it once was, as chips have increased in complexity into billions of tran-
sistors.
Global semiconductor revenue in 2011 will reach $317.4 billion and is expected to grow at a high rate. More and
more vlsi companies are setting up there base in india for frontend and back end vlsi design services
Course Details
Elaborate and module wise description of the course can be found below:
Part1 is dedicated to introduction of VLSI Design, XILINX Spartan Series FPGA Architecture, XILINX ISE & Mod-
elsim Software and VHDL Coding Basics.
During this the students will be writing various VHDL codes, simulating and synthesizing them.
Examples such as adders, comparators, parallel to serial shifters would be done on day1
Day2 will focus on when to use concurrent logic vs sequential logic. Students will learn about designing FSMs
using VHDL and finally go on to develop there own vending machine controller VHDL Design.
The focus will also be on Simulation, Synthesis and Implementation Phase. Also the students will learn how to
download their codes onto a board
The emphasis will be laid on front end VLSI design flow and EDA tools required for VLSI design
