Demonstration of Soft Robots.
WYSE Summer camps 2018: Explore Your Options (EYO) and Discover Engineering (DE)
MSL doctoral candidate Sreekalyan Patiballa and Prof. Krishnan conducted three summer camps introducing Industrial Engineering to high school students. The students programmed a line following robot and learnt the basics of programming a shortest path finder algorithm.
Outreach through SE 100
Outreach through ASME
Prof. Krishnan has been organizing the ASME Students Mechanism and Robot Design Competition from 2012 to 2016. The competition encourages students to design and prototype a functioning robot or mechanism and showcase them at the annual ASME IDETC.
