Satellite Controlled Robot

The document describes a satellite controlled robot workshop that teaches students how to build and program a robotic vehicle using components like microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and GPS modules, with the goal of learning skills like embedded C programming, serial communication protocols, and using GPS to determine the robot's position and guide its movements. Students would build a basic line-following robot, interface GPS with a PC and microcontroller, and program the robot to explore areas using GPS navigation.
