The Construct will present a live tutorial at IROS 2016:
Teaching Robotics With Cloud Simulations
This tutorial is about showing how to develop a teaching class of robotics that allows the students practice each one with a robot, and allow the teacher to concentrate on teaching and the student on learning robotics, instead of solving configuration/installation errors.
The 2016 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2016) will be held in Daejeon, Korea, October 9-14, 2016. The venue for IROS 2016 is the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC), close by “Daedeok Innopolis”. The program will integrate workshops and tutorials, plenaries, mini-plenaries, special sessions, exhibitions, robot demonstrations, an industrial forum and social activities for attendees and guests.
It is a nightmare to have each student with their computer ready for the robotics class, either because the operating system is not the proper one, the version of ROS is not the correct one, or there are many problems installing the required version of Gazebo.
