‘RASE 14’ - National Level Robotic Fest

APRIL 2014 PAGE 1

„Amrita Club for Robotics and Mechatronics‟ of ASE-Bengaluru achieved yet another

unprecedented milestone by conducting the School‟s first National-level Robotic Fest, - RASE‟14

(Robodeum@ASE) - on 28th Feb‟14 & 1st March‟14, which turned out to be a grand success.

RASE‟14 was an exhilarating and power packed Robotics fest with four exciting events –

„Robo Wars‟, „Line Follower Challenge‟, „Death Race‟ and „Bi-Ped Lifo‟. All the four events

saw enthusiastic participation by students from both within and outside the School. Around 60

teams took part in the various events and won prizes worth more than Rs. 80000/-.

The fest commenced with the Line Follower (LiFo) challenge, which was inaugurated in

the presence of Director Br. Dhanraj, Associate Dean Dr. Rakesh S.G., Fest Director Dr. T.S.B.

Sudarshan, Chair-ME Dr. Nagaraja S.R. and Chair-ECE Dr. Shikha Tripathi with zeal and

enthusiasm.

A total of 24 teams (96 students) participated in the Line follower event which consisted

of three rounds, where the intelligence of robots were put to test through various obstacles,

intersections and surprise challenges in the competition arena. Team „SUDO‟ from Adi Shankara

Institute of Engineering and Technology, Team „Cuttle Fish‟ from Amrita School of Engineering,

Bengaluru and Team „BOT-US‟ from Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru bagged the first,

second and third prizes respectively in the event.

APRIL 2014 PAGE 2

Death Race, conducted in the hostel open grounds stirred up the zealous atmosphere of the

fest with a new vivacious energy as 22 teams got all set to win the death race championship title.

Robots raced their way through various challenging traps and hindrances on the track like water

pits, inclinations, grease etc., and the fastest and toughest robot that outstripped all the hurdles

won the winner‟s title. Team UBE from Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru, Team Serial

Killers from MIT (Puducherry) and Team Legends from Amrita School of Engineering,

Bengaluru won the first, second and third prizes in this event.

Energy levels were very high with the onset of the fest‟s third event, Robo Wars, which

presented an open battlefield for a one-on-one battle of the bots. Sparks flew and gears ground as

the awe-struck crowd watched the fierce combat of Robots armed with dynamic weapons. A total

of 12 teams participated in the event and Team „Serial Killers‟ from MIT (Puducherry), Team

„Optimus Prime‟ from SMVEC (Puducherry) and Team „Manmade‟ from MVJ College of

Engineering, Bengaluru won the first, second and third prizes respectively.

APRIL 2014 PAGE 3

For a climax that could not have been better, RASE‟14 saw the fourth & last event - the

„Bi-Ped Lifo Challenge‟. This was an entirely new event and therefore was greeted with a lot of

excitement and eagerness. It integrated the line following challenge with the stability challenge

faced by a Bi-Ped Robot. Four Bi-Peds took part in this race to the finish line, while following the

black line on the track. Team „Quebert‟ from Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru and Team

„Rochi‟ Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru won the first and consolation prizes

respectively.

t turned out to be a grand success and the amount of

Finally, packed with plentiful entertainment, RASE‟14 came to its close with the

distribution of prizes to the winners by Dr. Rakesh S.G., Dr. T.S.B. Sudarshan and Dr. Nagaraja

S.R.

The fest turned out to be a grand success and the amount of participation in all the events

was very encouraging. Apart from the various teams within the college, 8 teams from other

colleges such MVJ College of Engineering Bengaluru, CMRIT Bengaluru, SMVEC Puducherry,

Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology Kerala, PESIT Bengaluru and MIT

Puducherry, also participated in the fest with enthusiasm. At the end of the day, RASE‟14

successfully accomplished its goal of bringing out the hidden potential of young roboticists,

developing competitive and team spirit among them and furthering their interest to go ahead in

this fascinating field to achieve bigger milestones of success. of Engineering and Technology Kerala, PESIT Bangalore and MIT Puducherry,also participated in the fest with z

‘Voice of Amrita’ Competition

APRIL 2014 PAGE 4

On 2nd and 3rd April 2014, „Raaga‟ the Music club of the school organized the very

popular “Voice of Amrita” competition. Over 30 students participated in the first round. The

final round was held on 7th April, 2014. Ms. Maya Iyer of S8 CSE bagged the “Voice of

Amrita” award and Ms. Chinmayee Raj of S6 EIE was adjudged the “Most Versatile Singer”.

Ms. Anjali Nair of S4 ECE was conferred with the “People‟s Choice” award.

‘Epic’ - the Movie Club @ ASE Bengaluru

„Epic‟, the Movie club of the School screened the Hindi movie „Yeh Jawani Hai

Deewani‟ on 5th April, 2014 which helped the students to unwind from their busy academic

schedule.

‘Photo Week’ by ‘Smriti’- the Photography Club @ ASE Bengaluru

„Smriti‟, the Photography club of the school organized „Photo Week‟, from 7th -11th

April, 2014. Students were trained on the basics of photography skills and photoshop by the

members of the club. Over 50 students of the school attended the workshop.

ECO Week

APRIL 2014 PAGE 5

From 7th to 10th April 2014, „Prakriti‟

- the Environmental club of the school

celebrated „ECO WEEK‟ as part of its club

activity. ECO WEEK was an attempt to unite

the students of Amrita towards a clean

environment and to sensitize them regarding

issues concerning the environment. The

following events were held as part of this

event under the guidance of Dr. Neetu

Srivastava, Mentor of the club:

„No plastic day‟ was celebrated in the

campus on 7th April, 2014 in order to

reduce the usage of plastic in the

campus. About 15 student volunteers

worked on 5th and 6th of April, 2014 and

made about 120 paper bags and decorative

items. All the paper bags were distributed

in the cafeteria and canteen where usage

of plastic covers was rampant.

Visit to an orphanage was organized on

8th April, 2014. A group of 20 members

visited an orphanage named „Thayimane‟

on Sarjapur Road to educate people

regarding environmental issues. They were briefed on issues like reducing usage of energy

consumption, pollution etc. At the end of the day, the student volunteers planted a couple of

saplings and requested the inmates to protect and nourish the plants.

APRIL 2014 PAGE 6

„Earth Hour‟ was observed in the school on 9th April, 2014. „Earth Hour‟ is voluntary

switching-off of the lights for one hour, in order to show the effectiveness of energy

conservation. On this day, from 6.30 PM to 7.30 PM, students united together and switched-

off the lights voluntarily. „Abhinaya‟, the drama club of the school also supported the event,

by staging a street play emphasizing on conservation of energy and the event was a grand

success.

The last and most interesting event of the „ECO WEEK‟ celebrations, was the guest lecture

by two eminent speakers Mr. Yellappa Reddy, a Retired Forest Officer and Mr. Sunil Kumar

an expert in the field of Biotechnology. The students had wonderful interaction with them

regarding ecological imbalances and also on conservation of biodiversity. Mr. Yellappa

Reddy, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the forest department spoke about forest

ecology system. He shared his experiences as a Forest Officer, his love for nature and the

deterioration of bio-diversity witnessed by him over the recent years. Mr. Sunil Kumar, who

is a Researcher, exhibited various species of ants and presented interesting facts about their

behavior, survival etc.

A new method of classifying satellite images into different categories such as

forest, desert, river etc., with the help of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and unsupervised

learning method using MATLAB is presented. Dense low-level feature descriptors are

extracted and exploited in a novel way to learn a set of basis functions. The low-level

feature descriptors are encoded in terms of the basis functions to generate new sparse

representation for the feature descriptors. We pool these sparse features by simple

averaging and show that this method will help us to choose SVM classifier which is having

less cost. Experimental results show its good performance, when tested with different

saliency criteria, such as accuracy, less computational time, and the combination of both.
