Build an Advanced Quadruped Robot Dog with Advanced Robotics Lab

Do you already have experience with robotics and coding? This is the ideal track for you to apply all your existing skills and go to the next level. In this session you will build EvoDog, an advanced AI-enabled quadruped robot dog, completely from scratch using Arduino Nano, Raspberry Pi, Camera, IMU and many other advanced components, and then program and teach it to walk, run and do tricks on 4 legs just like a dog. When complete, take EvoDog home and use it as a pet around your house!

The course consists of 3 Parts (3 weeks).

In Part 1 you will build the robot from ground up. In Part 2 you will make it AI-enabled, WiFi-connected, and learn how to program it to do all kinds of tricks. In Part 3 each student will begin to gain expertise in AI, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and High Power Mechatronics. Students will test their applications on Strider, a futuristic assistant robot with cutting-edge AI that helps around the home or office with voice commands.

By the end of this course, students will have learnt:

Deep dive into kinematics - synchronized motion control of large number of motors and joints
How to use real animals' behavior and structure to make better robots
Python
ROS - Robot Operating System
Image Processing
Deep Learning frameworks applied to computer vision
3D image acquistion and representation
3D image understanding and algorithms
Linux
Virtual Machines
OpenCV - Computer Vision
Raspberry Pi, Arduino
Networking
Power Management
Mechatronics
High power robot motors and joints
Each student will receive brand-new hardware and non-shared equipment.

Optionally, by attending the week of July 1, you will learn how various objects and robots are designed and manufactured from ground-up using Autodesk Fusion 360, so you can design and bring your own ideas to life!

Recommended: 3D Printing And 3D Design for Robotics

Each student will receive a kit of parts and supplies upon arrival. Once the sessions are done, the kit and additional supplies are for you to take home for continued enjoyment and learning!

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of coding. Comfortable using a computer. Student will need to have a computer with admin rights during this session.

Stellar robotics program + Best in the Bay!! 5+ Stars. Owner/Founder is an absolute genius with multiple patents who came up with the perfect program to have my boys fall in love with robotics. My older son doesn't get impressed easily with teachers, but stated Mr. Raghav is an absolute genius. His program is flourishing and he hires only the best of the best interns too. Patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about robotics. My boys completed the Genesis Track and Elite Track, and they are itching to learn more. They learn advanced robotics concepts, CAD, computer vision, AI, and more, and in the most interesting way with hands-on applications. Can't say enough about how incredible this program is! His staff is also 5++ stars. Tracy and the team are so responsive, passionate, patient, and kind. So grateful we found Evodyne! Thank you, Evodyne!
