Rathinam, Professor /EEE, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai. He delivered lecture about the Modelling of non-linear systems using ANN – Generation of training data – Optimal architecture– Model validation – Control of non-linear systems using ANN – Direct and indirect neuro control schemes – Adaptive neuro controller – Familiarization with neural network toolbox. The Sixth day of FDP, We Visited the Vendhar TV, No.35, Ground Floor, North Phase, Kalaimagal Nagar, 3rd Main Road, Ekkattuthangal, Chennai-600032 as an Industrial Visit. The Sessions were completed and the coordinators of the event conveyed thanks to Experts and Participants. The Staff Members interacted with the Experts very much and also cleared their doubts. The Participants of Teaching Faculties found the sessions very informative, motivate and they also had exposure to research activities and its importance.
