Workshop on BOTLAB

The WUB Robotics Club successfully conducted a four-day hands-on workshop titled “BOTLAB: Obstacle Avoiding Line Follower Robot” on May 26, 28, 29, and 30, 2025. The primary objective was to provide students with practical experience in robotics and embedded systems through the design and development of a line-following robot capable of obstacle detection and avoidance.

This workshop underscores the World University of Bangladesh's commitment to providing assistance for start-ups that foster a low-carbon economy. The core skills taught—sensor integration, efficient navigation, and autonomous system control—are directly transferable to developing technologies for smart grids, precision agriculture, and intelligent waste management systems, all of which are critical for reducing carbon emissions. By equipping students with these capabilities, WUB is actively building a talent pipeline and providing the foundational technical training for the next generation of green-tech entrepreneurs.

This initiative was made possible through the generous sponsorship of Dhaka Robotics, with media support from The Daily Campus, a local community media start-up that receives financial and resource assistance from WUB's partnership program designed to foster financially and socially sustainable businesses. This partnership model itself demonstrates the university's ecosystem approach to nurturing ventures that contribute to a sustainable and innovative economy.

The workshop was open to students from all departments and received an enthusiastic response from tech-savvy learners eager to dive into the world of automation and innovation, signaling a strong interest in fields that are pivotal to the low-carbon technology sector.
