1. Making a Machine Learn We started by redefining how we solve problems with computers. In classical programming (like the control laws we used on previous days), we provide the robot with explici...

This morning, we learned how robots “think” and “react” to their environment. It was all about signal processing, making sense of the data our sensors collect, and understanding control laws to mak...

While Day 1 was all about coding the “brain,” Day 2 focused entirely on the “body.” We learned that a solid mechanical design is fundamental for a robot’s performance, stability, durability, and sa...

The first day was dedicated to understanding the fundamentals: what exactly is a mobile robot and how does it interact with the world. Unlike industrial robots that are bolted down, mobile robots a...

During the summer of 2025, I had the opportunity to participate in the “Build Your Own Mobile Robot” program at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland. It was an incredible...
