A curriculum built on real robotics.

How a mobile robot is put together and why every part is there.

• Robot anatomy
• AMR architecture
• Power systems
• Motors & drivers
• Sensor types

Python for high-level robot logic, C/C++ for firmware, Arduino-style boards for fast prototyping.

• Python for ROS nodes
• Embedded C/C++
• Arduino & ESP32
• Debugging

The framework real robots run on, from first node to full robot software stacks.

• Nodes & topics

• Ultrasonic
• Depth cameras
• Calibration

Giving the robot eyes: processing images and recognising what's in front of it.

• OpenCV
• Image processing
• Object & marker detection
• Depth perception

Building a map, knowing where you are in it, and planning a safe route.

• SLAM
• Localisation
• Path planning
• Obstacle avoidance
• ROS 2 navigation

Turning commands into accurate, smooth motion.

• Differential & mecanum kinematics
