Students showcase their robotic and bio-mimetic machine systems at Open Day in Mysuru

A student-led nine astatine JSS Science and Technology University successful Mysuru – Advanced Integrated Systems for Cybernetics (AISC) – drew the attraction of visitors to the caller Open Day astatine the assemblage premises with their bird-like ornithopter, dog-like robots and different creations.

The members of the Club plan and physique projects that harvester mechanical design, embedded control, and adaptive algorithms to replicate biologic behaviours, creating dog-like robots, insect-inspired hexapods, and bird-like ornithopters. 

The nine showcased ‘Jatayu’, a bird-inspired ornithopter surveillance drone, a robot dog, and a 6-axis robotic limb adaptable for aggregate concern applications during the ‘Open Day’ held astatine the university’s field successful Mysuru connected June 6.

“Jatayu is simply a lightweight ornithopter inspired by vertebrate flight, utilising flapping wings for efficient, low-noise propulsion and earthy manoeuvrability. Its airframe is reinforced with c fibre and features flexible foam helping sections. A compact brushless actuator drives the helping flapping, portion a tiny pusher propeller provides supplementary thrust for ascent and cruise.”

“Equipped with a GPS and a downward-facing camera module, Jatayu tin execute waypoint navigation, automated survey passes, and ocular reconnaissance. The autopilot fuses GPS fixes with inertial sensors for unchangeable formation portion the camera streams unrecorded video and records geotagged images, enabling mapping, hunt missions, oregon inspection tasks with the ornithopter’s birdlike agility,” said a statement.

The different task – RoboDog – is simply a “nimble quadruped built for agility and interaction, combining a lightweight plain skeletal framework with compact servos astatine each associated for quick, precise motions. Its modular limb plan uses compliant joints. Onboard powerfulness absorption and a low-centre-of-gravity layout support the robot unchangeable during accelerated turns and terrain changes,” the connection said.

The AISC nine promotes hands-on learning done workshops, interdisciplinary teams, and competitions, portion encouraging probe successful sensing, actuation, and strategy integration.
