Session
When Software Meets Robotics: Building a Self-Driving R2D2!
What's the Talk About?
Think of it as a behind-the-scenes tour of a robotics workshop! This presentation is not just about the nuts and bolts; it’s about the laughs, the ‘aha’ moments, and the occasional ‘oops’ that happen when cloud-based development shakes hands with robotics. I’ll share:
* Fun anecdotes from the world of robotics and software integration.
* Easy-to-digest tips and tricks for developers looking to dive into robotics.
* The secret sauce to making interdisciplinary projects less intimidating, more exhilarating and a LOT less painful.
* How anybody can get started by leveraging cloud-based services such as RoboMaker and SageMaker.
Star of the Show:
Meet my life-size, self-driving R2D2 robot – the true hero of this story! This little buddy isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a living example (well, almost living) of what happens when you let your software skills loose in the robotics world. Expect stories, demonstrations, and maybe even a high-five from R2D2!
