Description:

Networking / Visual Control Techniques for Advanced Students

This workshop aims to empower you to channel your new found knowledge from this workshop into creating your own technologically challenging, cool, and fun independent project. 

🌐  Think about  the Mars Rover control from the NASA Station on earth,   or the telepresence robots! Tele-op with autonomy robotics are increasingly valuable across various industries leveraging artificial intelligence with various industries, even health care.   With the advent of high-speed internet and advanced devices, telepresence robots are becoming more intelligent and versatile.  

This workshop focused on telepresence and tele-op with autonomy robotics. You will learn how to control a smart robot remotely using visual feedback. Equipped with cameras and sensors, these robots can be navigated and controlled through a computer interface or a custom-built controller. Participants will gain hands-on experience in:

• Navigating tight spaces
• Avoiding potential hazards
• Harnessing the power of real-time visualization in remote engine control

This learning opportunity offers practical experience and insights into the capabilities and applications of tele-robots with shared autonomy.

Summarized Learning Objectives

In this workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience in the followings:

• Gain an appreciation in various applications such as exploration, surveillance, and education, where direct human presence may not be feasible or safe.
• Motion Control - Build a controller with an embedded Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).   and a remote wheeled robot with onboard sensers and camera with the intelligence for smart navigation.
• Netwoirking: Remotely communicate using WIFI socket communication between two microcontrollers, uni-directionally, and bi-directionally
• Remote uni- and bi- directional Collaboration and control: Send onboard sensing data from the remote engine to the controller to perform remote collaboration (like the NASA station controller Rovers on Mars).
• Control using Computer Vision: Enable the controller to real-time visualize the remote engine’s path.  You can control the remote engine through its video feed.  You’ll also program the remote engine to have the intelligence to navigate smartly, such as navigating tight spaces , avoiding potential hazards.
