FTC 18225 High Definition
We are FTC 18225 High Definition, a 5x worlds qualifier robotics team that participates in the FIRST Tech Challenge. Since our founding in 2020, we've been focused on bringing STEM and robotics to as many communities as possible through various robotics clubs and STEM advocacy efforts. We are excited to host this workshop at PyData Seattle!
Session
In this talk, Ethan Lee, lead programmer of an FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) high school robotics team, and Jake Poznanski, startup founder and software engineer, will show how software, hardware, and data converge to build intelligent robots. Ethan will discuss how FTC robots apply computer vision, including OpenCV and neural networks, to convert raw camera data into autonomous robot action. He will also examine the challenges of operating under strict computation constraints, such as latency, calibration, and synchronization. Jake will explore the process of creating a DIY robot, such as CAD design, electronics, and message passing.
