I would like to dedicate this episode to the people who are still working on autonomous driving. We believe that it will be the technology of the future, with many interesting and exciting job opportunities. We want to promote and support those who are actively involved in this field. So, if that describes you, this episode is dedicated to you!

Today we are going to learn about autonomous driving!

But before going into the meat, let me introduce you to the Robotics Developer Masterclass Program that we have developed at The Construct have created. In The Robotics Developer Masterclass, we teach people from zero background to become a robotics developer in only 6 months. You will have around 1000 hours of learning, acquiring all the skills you need to enter a company and start working with programming robots. You will have all the practical skills that companies are requesting. Take a look at the path we provide, taking you from a novice to a robotics developer status, making you job-ready to be hired and work from day one.

The Robotics Masterclass program is based on several phases. For each phase, you are going to have some online courses with simulations that also connect with the remote robot lab we have built for the different phases.

For Phase 1, we have the City Lab.

For Phase 2, we have the Warehouse Robot Lab in collaboration with Robotnik.

For Phase 3, we have the Cyberworld Robot Lab in collaboration with Husarion.

For the final project, you’ll have to work in a Real Robot Cafeteria that we built at The Construct.

Students’ final project

By the end of the program, you’ll have a 3-month internship (optional) at some robotics company to practice the skills you have learned from the Masterclass.

The next batch will be opened in March 2024.

Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start the practice with robots from minute one with The Construct.

Let me introduce you to Santiago Montiel Marín. Santiago is a Ph.D. student and researcher at the Universidad de Alcalá, His research focuses on radar perception for autonomous vehicles. Santiago is one of the developers of AIVATAR, which is an open-source autonomous driving stack project.

Welcome to the podcast, Santiago!
