Knowledge to acquire

All the sessions are practical sessions and all the acquired knowledge is directly related to the skills developped by the students

Skills to develop

  • Technical side : developping programs for a single board computer (raspberry pi), using peripherals (camera, digitally controlled motor driver). Detecting and following visual clues. Establishing a client / server architecture for wifi communication. Designing and implementing a state machine for autonomous target acquisition, orientation and coordination of the robots. Developping a webpage for direct manual control of the robots. Modelling, lasercutting and 3d printing the chassis
  • Human side : analysis and distribution of tasks, team communication, planning and time management, team building, ensuring that every member of the team has acquired all the skills and knowledge related to the project
