AMALTHEA is the annual Technical Summit organized by IIT Gandhinagar.
Founded in 2010, Amalthea is the annual technical summit organized by IIT Gandhinagar.The focus is purely on spreading technical knowledge and suffusing enthusiasm in minds to work for the greater good of man. Bringing together the best minds from industrial and academic worlds and providing a platform of interaction with them, Amalthea promises to entice every prospective engineer. Providing an avenue for showcasing innovative products developed at IITGN, we see the best technology being incubated here in the years to come. Moving minds with intellectual stimulation like no other event could is where we see Amalthea in a few years.
Events
A\\\"MAZE\\\"D
Autonomous robots have wide reaching applications. From Bomb sniffing to finding humans in wreckage to home automation. Major problems faced by designs are power and reliable sensing mechanism. Some of these problems can be reduced by autonomous bots which can solve different kinds of maze. The purpose behind making a maze solver bot is that these type of bots can be used to identify the shortest path on digital maps. With the same motivation Amalthea provides you with an opportunity to design your own maze solver bot which can accomplish the above requirements.
The conclave will mainly focus on Three sectors:
Designing
Manufacturing
Entrepreneurship and innovation
AMALTHEA 2012 aims at discussing two topics which are of prime importance in the growing Indian economy, Safety and Automobiles. The Indian economy is growing at a rapid pace, including growing industries. Safety is the biggest concern of this growth. Amalthea aims to bring the best minds, who have devoted their careers, to a better and secure future of their people, together.
We also look at the future of one of the world\\\'s potential manufacturing hub\\\'s biggest opportunity - The Auto sector. Global companies have entered and are entering the Indian market, not only for sales but for production as well. This could be India\\\'s biggest chance to ensure that its growth is not hindered in the near future. The need of today is making the youth - the budding engineers, academicians and scientists - aware of the present scenario and aspects of development in the near future. The conclave aspires to bring the best brains in the field of automobiles under a single roof and provide a platform for innovation.
