Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

The future has arrived! Autonomous robots are fast becoming a reality in consumer, commercial, and industrial settings. These robots are capable of navigating uncontrolled environments without physical or electro-mechanical guidance.

Find out how you can integrate autonomous robots into your daily routine, whether at home or at work, through this course. You will learn the basics of embedded control systems, sensors integration, and how to achieve autonomous robot mobility in relatively controlled spaces. 

Sign up now for this one-day course and take the first step to embrace automation for a higher overall productivity. 

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Build and programme a mobile robot using a Raspberry Pi single board computer
• Interface the robot with direct current motors and sensors, and programme it to perform simple navigation tasks
