A Symposium on Latest Trends and Innovations in Construction Industry We live in concrete forests, i.e. the world around us is

surrounded by construction and from there comes the

word Consentric i.e. construction centric. Consentric was

a civil symposium organized by the Department of Civil

Engineering, PDPU with the great support of PSP Projects

Pvt. Ltd. JP Structures, Laxmi Trading Company and

Technomen consultant.

The inaugural session started with the kind words of

Dr. Debasis Sarkar, HOD, Civil Engineering

Department, PDPU. He talked about various new

technologies that are coming up in the field of civil

engineering like high rise buildings, sustainable

development, less waste generation, cloud computing,

affordable housing etc. He also encouraged students to

Be Creative & Think out of the Box. Then Prof. T.P. Singh , Dean, Student affairs , PDPU

talked about the effort at PDPU to raise the unlimited

potential in students and said that Consentric 14 was a

similar effort where students could interact with the

industry people and learn about their ideas as well as

expectations and increase their tacit knowledge which

cannot be found in books or literatures.

Later on the chief guest Shri G.R. Aloria (IAS),

Additional Chief Secretary, Urban Development and

Urban Housing delivered his talk. He emphasized on the

increasing demand of housing and infrastructure along

with best technology people in this rapidly developing

world. He also said that The World has become borderless and so there is a need of putting latest technology in use, to meet the contrast between EWS and

this milestone and is among top 18 teams representing

India in this International competition.

Vehicle highlights

In order to attain maximum fuel efficiency, weight of

our prototype is reduced to maximum level by. Using

lightweight materials for our chassis and body shell.

Another important feature is the aerodynamics of

our body shell which is designed to reduce air

drag. Maximum power output that our motor can

deliver is 11KW. Its armature is designed in a

unique way. It has copper plates instead of copper

windings. It also has 45 RPM/V and has 0.21 of

torque/ampere. The battery pack consists of 4

lithium ion cells (LiFePO4 chemistry), each of

nominal voltage of 3.2V (2.2V minimum and

4.2V maximum) and 40AH of capacity. All the

four cells were connected in series and the total

voltage will be 12.8V. The intelligent BMS

(Battery Management System) will balance the

cells and will protect each cell from over-voltage,

over-current, excessive temperature, etc. and will

automatically disconnect the cell in case of fault.

The solar panel of 17m2 area was used to charge

the battery during running conditions. Based on

our calculations, the expected mileage was

around 300 Km/kWh under ideal conditions.

ABSTRACT

Simulation of robot systems is getting very popular,

especially with the lowering cost of computers. The

robotic arm is presumably the most mathematically

complex for the dynamic and kinematic analysis. The

purpose of this paper is to build a simulation framework

for a 3R robotic arm using PTC Creo Parametric 2.0 and

also to identify its advantages and disadvantages for such

analysis. Trajectory of the robotic arm is optimized by

considering the shortest path as an objective function

between the initial and final position which results in

straight line motion using an effective optimization

technique known as Teaching Learning Based

Optimization (TLBO).

Intermediate positions of the optimized results are taken

as an input for the simulation of the 3R robotic arm in

PTC Creo Parametric 2.0.The results obtained by using

TLBO and PTC Creo Parametric 2.0, such as angular

positions, joint velocities and joint accelerations are

compared based on RMS errors.

The verification of the obtained results by both methods

allows us to qualitatively evaluate the correctness of the

model and allow us to get the best result.
