Our new friend at Microsoft: a next generation robot, called NAO. See and learn how he interacts.
|
Ever dreamed of getting a robot do what you want him to do, and let him interact with you and the environment ? Then this sessions is made for you ! During a 2 day training, open for students, lecturers and academic staff, you will learn how to bring this new generation of robots alive ! And maybe you turn the robot into a top dancer at the end of the workshop (as in this YouTube video). |
Robotica combines both classical techniques of programming and algorithmes as well as more complex topics, including interaction with the environment or artificial intelligence. The Microsoft Innovation Center has acquired a robot Nao as well as multiple robots Lego Mindstorm . This new generation of robots are able to understand and analyse the situations and take the decisions themselves. Experience it now…
