Overview
RobotCraft is a two months intensive internship and summer-course programme. After the tremendous success of last editions, RobotCraft's 10th edition is coming in the summer of 2025.
Details
- BASIS OF MOBILE ROBOTICS: Acquire 3D modelling, 3D printing and electromechanical concepts, applied to the design of mobile robots.
- ROBOTICS PROGRAMMING: Explore the Arduino platform and the ROS framework for the low-level and high-level control of mobile robots.
- BUILD YOUR OWN ROBOT: Consolidate all concepts taught towards the design of a mobile robotic platform and compete with your friends!
Disciplines: Robotics; Mechanics; Electronics; Informatics.
ATTENDANCE
Intern’s attendance is assessed using the unique RFID cards used as individual identification. To obtain the certificate, the intern must comply with the following attendance:
- Lessons (theoretical classes, seminars, workshops, etc.): 60 out of 84 hours
- Laboratory: 24 out of 36 hours (4 out of 6 week laboratories)*
*Attendance outside predefined laboratory days do not make up for missing laboratories.
Specific objectives
- To promote concepts and theorems for the introduction to robotics, describing the history of robotics and its evolution;
- To acquire basic electromechanical concepts, applied in the development of robotic platforms;
- To understand the potential use of Atmel microcontrollers, using the Arduino platform;
- To understand the potential use of the ROS framework;
- To acquire C/C++ programming skills;
- To understand the use of sensors (e.g., range finders, encoders, cameras) and actuators (e.g., servo motors, stepper motors, DC motors) used in robotics;
- To explore and apply the concepts of networks and different communications architectures to robotics;
- To explore and apply concepts of artificial intelligence in robotics;
- To consolidate concepts learned during the modules for the full design of a mobile robotic platform, including electromechanical assembly, low-level and high-level programming, and artificial intelligence;
- To validate the design of the mobile robot platform under a competitive scenario.
