Sidmouth Robots return to help you with a robot workshop joined by visiting robots from the University of the West of England.
The Robot Workshop offers about a dozen different robot-related activities and experiences. The robots range from simple Lego compatible cars to which you can add features, to a professional standard motion-control rig, which you can’t touch but which will film your very own stop-motion animated video. There are also a range of remote-control activities, from slow-moving sheep herding which appeals to younger children to duelling drones which require utmost concentration and skill at a high level. The demonstrators have mostly built the robots from scratch themselves, and have a deep knowledge of robotic subjects, from computer vision to neural networks, as used in Artificial Intelligence.
Light refreshments are available. Booking is not required and there is no charge for entry though donations to the festival are welcome.
Free of charge, donations welcome. No need to book.
