DC/MD/VA Robotics and Automation Team
|
We are a team of Robotics and Machine Learning hobbyists, professionals, consultants, or enthusiasts that volunteer our time, energy, and talents to help each other, and our greater local community, with a robotics project, entrepreneurial ideas, or gather information about new research in Robotics and Automation. Some examples where we volunteer might be to help in the following areas: Our meetups are decentralized, and open to new projects, topics, and individuals with creative, and interesting ideas.

Our next meeting:
Workshop 1: Arduino Robotic Microcontroller
Update:
Updated venue location and time for meeting place.
Because of a buggy driver for the usb-serial cable we are no longer going to use the BBB kit for the workshop. Instead we are using the pre-assembled Arduino from Sparkfun's website. Hence no soldering will be involved with the workshop. I placed an order for the Arduino's on Saturday.
