A guest lecture has been arranged on the topic “Oceanic Odyssey: The Crucial Role of Mechanical Engineers in Marine Robotics” on 23.05.2024 at 11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. for second-year mechanical students through online mode. The lecture is delivered by Dr.J.Prabhakaran, Project Scientist at Marine Autonomous Vessels Laboratory (MAVLAB), Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT-Madras.
Report
The guest lecture focused on the role of mechanical engineers in the marine sector. The guest was given a brief introduction on how robots are used in ship construction. Next, it was detailed how the Arduino Mega, GPS, and ROS (Robot Operating System) were used for the ship projects. Finally, guests engage with students and answer questions on ocean projects, scopes, and opportunities at IIT-Madras.
