From Code to Control: A Hands-On Journey into Robotics and Telepresence
Workshop description
Topic: Robotics
The goal of this workshop is to show the basic principles of robotics that govern the functioning of robots, get hands on experience to control.
Workshop Activities:
- Introduction to robotics: A brief overview of the basic modules (sensing-control-acting) of robotics and underlying principles will be given.
- Hands-On Experience: Participants will create a simple program (with the help of the instructor) for a robot to achieve a given task, first in simulation, later on a real robot (either a small manipulator or a mobile robot).
- Visit to the Mobile Robot Lab: Participants will see demonstrations of the real robots targeted for telepresence applications, in which a remote user can see and interact with the environment that the robot is located. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions to the researchers.
