On October 17, 2019 (Thursday), AIUB Community of Engineering Students (ACES) successfully organized a workshop titled “Basic Robotics: Implementing Robo Soccer Module” which was supported by Frequency Lab at 5^th floor, D building, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). The goal of the workshop was to provide the basic knowledge of implementing a robo soccer module. The workshop started at 10:00 am. 12 groups, each consisting of four students from different departments of AIUB participated in this workshop.

The instructor of the workshop, Md. Tarikul Islam Juel (IoT & Embedded system Engineer, Frequency Lab) started the workshop by discussing the basics of Arduino and showed the Arduino Nano as a sample. Then, he talked about the various serial communication interfaces such as UART, SPI protocol, I2C protocol. After that, he showed the participants how to control led light using various functions of Arduino which are digital pin, digital write, analog read, analog write, pin node and serial design. Furthermore, he explained how to connect all the devices with Arduino. After the lunch break, participants of the workshop were guided to implement H-Bridge topology for implementing the Robo-soccer module. Moreover, each of the groups were provided with Arduino Nano, motors, battery, wheels etc. Using them, each group successfully built and implemented robo soccer module. Later on, Md. Golam Sarowar (Chairman, Frequency Lab) and Md. Abdullah Al Muktadir (Managing Director, Frequency Lab) shared their experience with the participants. They discussed about the history, progression and future plan of Frequency Lab.  They also expressed their interest to organize more workshops to encourage young minds to be more enthusiastic about Robotics. Prof. Dr. A.B.M Siddique Hossain (Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) delivered the closing speech where he talked about the importance of robotics in the modern era. Lastly, token of appreciations was given to the instructor and the guests. Also the participants of the workshop were provided with certificates as an acknowledgement of successful completion of the workshop.
