Want Your Robotics Idea Happen in 2018? This Is Your Webinar!

What you will learn from this ROS Robots Webinar Series

  • We will guide you step by step from idea to a real robotics product that you can start selling in three weeks from now
  • We will show you which materials to use, which parts to buy, how to program the whole robot to perform its task, and how to launch it to the world
  • We will use the example of Barista robot, a robot that serves coffee to the tables, made in 3 months by a couple of students with no prior knowledge of robotics.

EPISODE #1

We will:

▸ Set the outline of the whole project
▸ Find the parts that will have to buy
▸ Decide software to build

EPISODE #2

We will:

▸ Show you the document which describes the Barista robot project (based on what was taught on EPISODE 1).
▸ Based on that document, we will see how to select the parts you need for your project.
▸ Based on that document, we show you how to start with simulating your robot and environment.
▸ Then we start developing the software that will go on the robot, using that simulation.
▸ The whole process will be taught for a general product (your product!). Also, we will show how we applied all this to the development of the Barista robot
▸ We will answer your questions about your own robotic product.

 

EPISODE #3

We will:

▸ We will show you how to find the people and parts that will make your robot a real product.
▸ We will show you how to proceed to test with the real robot.
▸ We will show you how to iterate, jumping from simulation to the real robot until the product really works as needed.
▸ We will show you how to present to society at a big launching event.
▸ The whole process will be taught for a general product (your product!). Also, we will show how we applied all this to the development of the Barista robot
▸ We will answer your questions about your own robotic product.
