Free software in robotics: build your own autonomous systems (Arne Baeyens)
- Prior knowledge: None needed
- Format: Presentation
- Language: English
Robotics software progressed by leaps and bounds over the past years and now is an excellent time to build your own intelligent physical systems, from autonomous lawnmowers to aerial vehicles. In this talk, Arne introduces relevant robotics concepts and discusses several robotics free software projects, covering topics such as intra- and inter-robot communication, control and behavior, simulation as well as development tooling. By the end of this talk, you will have a good idea what software to use in your robotics projects.
