GRASP 2026
IEEE RAS DeKUT
Ready to turn code into motion?
Dive into hands-on robotics challenge that takes participants through the process of designing, programming, and controlling a robotic arm. Participants will explore 3D CAD design, servo motor control, Arduino programming, robotic arm kinematics, Raspberry Pi, and computer vision using OpenCV. Working in teams and guided by mentors, they will integrate these technologies to build and control a functional robotic system before putting their skills to the test in a final robotics challenge.
