Robot Programming with Python Workshop at Devfest 2022
Noorsyamimi and Hafiq are running a workshop at Devfest 2022
Robotics Masters students from the School of Digital Science, Noorsyamimi bin Haji Abdur Ajak and Muhammad Hafiq Anas are running a workshop on Robot Programming with Python at Devfest 2022.
Registration details are found in this IG link:
Their workshop will be held on Sunday, 4 December 2022, 1.30 to 3.30pm (GMT +8) at iCentre, Ground Floor, IBA Training Room.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediates in Robotics.
"This workshop will give you a fundamental experience of programming a robot using Python. You will learn about the basics of robotic systems including their hardware components and programming the functions of these components. You will program a miniature mobile robot with a Raspberry Pi acting as its brain. Armed with the new skills, you will form two teams and control your robot to cooperate with your teammates to compete with the opponent team in a game.
About the speaker:
Syamimi's interest in robotics started when she explored robot navigation using ROS 2 for her final year project. She worked in the Robolab on Human Activity Discovery using unsupervised machine learning. She was also involved in Rotating Predictive Analytics consultancy research project at UBD in collaboration with a partner university in South Korea and a local oil and gas company. Her current MSc research is on developing a self-driving car prototype controlled with deep learning algorithm. Her research interests include self-driving cars, robotics and machine learning in interdisciplinary fields.
During Hafiq's undergraduate studies, he solved an indoor navigation problem by designing an autonomous navigation system on a customized mobile robot using ROS. He has also developed an Automatic Facial Expression Recognition (AFER) system. Currently, he is working on implementing a socially compliant navigation robot that can be deployed in crowded places using Deep Reinforcement Learning to imitate acceptable human behaviors. His research interests include robotics, machine learning, and the application of robots in the real world."
