Robotricks 21/22 - Phase 1 - Robot Simulation with Webots | 2-Day Workshop - Day 2
2-day workshop on Webots Software with hands-on experience.
Robotics and automation are not just learning theories, and only the theories can’t handle a well-controlled robot. So this novel idea of giving the registrants of Robotricks’21/22 the experience of simulating a robot through the Webots software is all because of the country’s pandemic situation, and the registrants are all stuck inside their houses.
The second day of the workshop was the 2nd of August, and our speaker of the day was Mr. Udula Ranasinghe again. After the introduction for the day by the moderator, Mr. Udula carried on the session. He started it from where he stopped the previous day by adding the sensors to the robot. After that, he went on with explaining about the programming language which he chose python as most of our participants were beginners to the field. He explained how to get familiar with the language we are using and what are the essential points which should be known when coding for robotics. Fortunately, he was able to explain everything and show us the final output of the robot, which could also prevent obstacles.
Finally, the time arrived for the participants to clarify their doubts regarding the two days of the workshop. The question and answer session also went very well, where the participants were much lively with their questions. They were so thrilled when the answers were given. So with that, the massive two-day workshop was concluded.
