Bengaluru: St. Joseph’s University, under the Innovation Council of the School of Information Technology, conducted a four-day AI & Robotics Training Program on 20, 21, 24 and 25 November 2025 at the Magis Block – Conference Hall. The initiative was jointly organised by the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Data Analytics.
Inaugural Session: Orientation & Fundamentals
The programme began with an orientation led by Mr. Tarun Sharma from ThinkPro Academy, who outlined the training structure, goals, and expected outcomes. Participants were introduced to the basics of AI, robotics, hands-on coding exercises, and built an introductory robotic model to connect theory with practical learning.
Day 2: Building a Robotic Car with Range Sensor
On the second day, participants focused on constructing and programming a robotic car equipped with a range sensor. They learned about sensor functionality, real-world applications, and programmed the model to respond to surroundings, enhancing their understanding of sensor integration and automation.
Day 3: Group Projects Using Ultrasonic Sensors
Day three involved collaborative problem-solving. Students worked in teams to design, assemble, and program robotic models with ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection. This task allowed them to apply concepts learned earlier while enhancing creativity, analytical reasoning, and teamwork.
Day 4: Evaluation & Skill Assessment
The final day assessed each participant’s coding skills, robotics understanding, and sensor integration through practical and theoretical evaluations. Constructive feedback was provided, helping students identify strengths and improve further. The programme concluded with a vote of thanks to ThinkPro instructor Mr. Varun Sharma.
Programme Impact & Conclusion
The four-day initiative succeeded in offering students a strong foundation in AI, robotics, and intelligent systems. Through a blend of theory and hands-on activities, the training fostered technical curiosity, innovation, and essential problem-solving skills. ThinkPro appreciated the efforts of the organising departments, coordinators, and students for contributing to the success of the programme.
