EVENT DETAILS |
<P>Learn deep learning the fun way.by building a robot & taking it home! Hardware & software technologies have improved to the point where you really can build an autonomous robot in just a few hours. Come join our community of engineers & tinkerers to learn how to build, program & play with your very own robot.</P>
<P>You will build your own Raspberry PI/TensorFlow powered robot that you can take home & show your friends. In the process, you will get an overview of hardware (everything from soldering to I2C) & software (raspberry PIs, Linux, Python, Tensorflow, Deep Learning)</P>
<P><STRONG>Prerequisites</STRONG></P>
<P>This class can support a wide range of skill levels. The more experience you have, the more customization you will be able to do, but everyone should be able to get the robot running autonomously.</P>
<P><STRONG>Schedule</STRONG></P>
<P>Hour 1: Setup the Raspberry PI with Ubuntu. Install Python, & requisite software/libraries. Get OpenCV installing & then set aside.</P>
<P>Hour 2: Build the Robot chassis. Solder the motor hat. Learn to use a multimeter. Attach sonars. Install camera.</P>
<P>Hour 3: Get the Robot moving non-autonomously, powered by an nginx web server.</P>
<P>Hour 4: Make TensorFlow do object recognition. Turn on autonomous motion.</P>
<P><STRONG>Materials</STRONG></P>
<P>We will provide for every student:</P>
<P>Raspberry PI 3</P>
<P>Camera</P>
<P>16GB SD Card</P>
<P>Adafruit Motor HAT</P>
<P>2WD Robot Chassis</P>
<P>Small USB Speaker</P>
<P>Sonar</P>
<P>Wires</P>
<P>Laptop Battery</P>
<P><STRONG>What you will need to bring:</STRONG></P>
<P>You need to bring a laptop (or a keyboard, a mouse & monitor) to program the robot.</P>
<P><STRONG>Optional Materials</STRONG></P>
<P>Bring your own fabrics, wheels, stickers, microphones etc. & you can make your robot even smarter, faster & more stylish.</P>
<P><STRONG>Meet your instructor Lukas Biewald:</STRONG></P>
<P>"From my earliest memories, I can remember making & building whatever came to mind."</P>
<P>Lukas is a successful entrepreneur & technologist who has his BS in Mathematics & his Masters in Computer Science. A few highlights from his career include being one of the first employees at Powerset (Sold to Microsoft for 100+ million) & starting his own AI & crowdsourcing company, Crowdflower, which has become one of the top AI companies in the space.</P>
<P>Lukas has been building robots for years & has started his own robotics lab in San Francisco. Lukas was a Teaching Assistant for the now famous Stanford CS221 class & has taught this seminar on machine learning & robotics to large tech organizations as well as engineering conferences. His passion for AI is only surpassed by his passion for building robots & setting things on fire (ie fireworks).</P>
