A deep dive into programming on the Misty Robotics platform. (Double Length Session if the organizers allow for it - please plan for 1.5 to 2 hours)
If you are a wizard with JavaScript or a master of Python come by this multi-hour workshop where we'll challenge you to write a skill for a mobile robot—this one. We'll connect you to a rolling bundle of sensor, capabilities, and promise—turning you loose with your favorite text editor or IDE, some user docs, and see what you can do.
Connect Misty to your favorite API, create a sentry bot, or a new friend, the possibilities are endless.
You'll have more context if you also attend this helpful intro presentation and live coding session
