In a busy robotics workshop, students explored programming languages, AI, and material selection as their instructor walked through the room, ready to answer questions. The instructor explained that robotics mainly uses Python, C++, and ROS, while Arduino uses C and C++, and Raspberry Pi supports Python, C++, and Java.
The instructor also explained how AI processes data from sensors to make decisions, helping robots learn and improve performance over time. Advances in AI, hardware, and cloud computing are making robots smarter and more capable.
A student asked how materials are chosen for robots. The instructor explained that metals are used for strength, while plastics are chosen for lightness. Factors such as durability and the environment in which robots operate also play a role in material selection.
On the topic of real-world applications, the instructor pointed out exciting areas such as medical robots, self-driving cars, and space exploration. These fields are rapidly evolving as technology improves.
Finally, a student asked for advice on how to succeed in robotics. The instructor recommended starting small, learning programming and electronics, and participating in competitions. “Build, fail, and keep learning,” the instructor said. With renewed energy and understanding, the students returned to their projects, eager to apply their knowledge.
