About This workshop
This intensive intermediate workshop empowers participants to construct and program their own mobile robots tailored for challenging arid landscapes. You'll gain hands-on experience with sensor integration, including temperature, humidity, and obstacle detection, crucial for desert exploration. The curriculum covers foundational robotics, micro-controller programming using Python or C++, and implementing IoT protocols for real-time data transmission. By the end of the day, attendees will have a functional, autonomous robot capable of basic navigation and environmental monitoring, ready for further development and application in smart agriculture or environmental research in Arizona's unique ecosystem.
