Building Intelligent DIY Robots: From Hardware to Vision Systems
Event:
PyData Seattle 2025
Speakers
Description
In this talk, Ethan Lee, lead programmer of an FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) high school robotics team, and Jake Poznanski, startup founder and software engineer, will show how software, hardware, and data converge to build intelligent robots. Ethan will discuss how FTC robots apply computer vision, including OpenCV and neural networks, to convert raw camera data into autonomous robot action. He will also examine the challenges of operating under strict computation constraints, such as latency, calibration, and synchronization. Jake will explore the process of creating a DIY robot, such as CAD design, electronics, and message passing.
