How to build Robots using ROS, OpenCV, Raspberry Pi and Python

 

Description:

Building Intelligent Robots using latest hardware and Software platform such as Raspberry Pi 2 ,Robot Operating System(ROS), Open-Computer Vision(OpenCV) and Programming it using Python. The workshop mainly aims to demonstrate how we can design a robotic hardware from scratch and programming it using ROS, OpenCV and Python. The workshop also explain what is Robot Operating System, OpenCV and discuss how to program it using Python interface of ROS called ROSPy. ROS is mainly used in advanced robotic research in many universities but the usage and contribution of ROS from India is very less. This workshop mainly aims to give more exposure to Robot Operating System and generate more developers in this area. Main topics of the talk is follows

• Basics of Robotics
• The basic hardware used in Robotics
• Application of Python in Robotics
• Understanding Robot Operating System
• How to Program ROS using Python
• Understanding OpenSource Computer Vision
• How to interface OpenCV to ROS and program using Python
• How to Install ROS and OpenCV on Raspberry Pi
• How to integrate all these stuffs
