HUMANOID ROBOT NAO INTERACTIVE TRAINING COURSE
MACHINE VISION PROGRAMMING AND APPLICATIONS WITH PYTHON
20-21 OCT. 2016, UiTM-MTDC Technopreneur Center
UiTM Shah Alam
Training Info
ABSTRACT: The training will focus on technical programming using Python and application of humanoid robot NAO with machine vision technology. The participants will learn how to communicate with the robot NAO through Python programming language and develop programming skills using NAO for research tasks and advanced applications. Python 2.7 will be used as a platform for this training. Primarily, as the robot NAO has two cameras, this workshop will focus on machine vision applications. Additionally, this workshop will provide the participants with the required skills on how to manage and program NAO without using its built-in software (Choregraphe).
Training Level: Basic and Intermediate
Required knowledge: Choregraphe and Python (basic and higher)
Required devices for training: Laptop (Windows/Mac), humanoid robot NAO (we will provide limited units of the NAO robot to be used by participants who do not have the robot)
