Robotics is a crucial intersection of multidisciplinary systems engineering that requires expertise in an array of domains. As trends continue to see growth in automated systems across all aspects of life, it is important for contemporary engineers to know foundational concepts in robotics and mechatronics to more fully grasp the complexities of automation. Because of the complexity, robotics is a difficult subject to cover in an academic setting and leaves many faculties struggling on a method to expose robotics to students as early as possible. The TI-RSLK MAX is a platform and curriculum solution from Texas Instruments that makes it more feasible to add robotics to department lab offerings from as early as the first year of engineering to later electives covering sophisticated topics in embedded systems, IoT, sensors, power, controls, signal processing, machine learning and more.
Attend this webinar to:
- Understand how to seamlessly add hands-on robotics to existing first year engineering courses and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) major courses
- Expose students to ARM architecture and the flexibility for simple projects to highly sophisticated systems
- Explore multiple entry points for students to develop software and improve their programming skills in the embedded context
- Bring practical learning to students to better prepare and motivate them for future technologies
