SmartBots Workshop

Event date: 08 Mar 2025

Time: 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM

Locatisation: ONLINE

Attendees: 10

session 1:
On 07/04/2025, SMARTBOTS had taken part as an exploring bootcamp about the integration of Artificial Intelligence in robotics. The first session focused on generative AI principles serving as an essential foundation for advanced robotics integration.
session 2:
This session empowered attendees to pioneer innovative advancements at the intersection of AI and robotics in academic or industry settings and they have gained actionable insights into designing AI-enhanced robotics solutions.
session 3:
Building on the success of Sessions 1 and 2, the third installment of the SMARTBOTS series took place on April 9th, 2025, as part of Education Week, and delved deep into the world of IoT and embedded systems. During the workshop, attendees engaged in hands-on learning by developing projects that incorporated TinyML using TensorFlow Lite, focusing on intelligent embedded systems for robotic applications. A special emphasis was placed on utilizing STM32Cube.AI for deploying machine learning models on microcontrollers with projects centered around surgical robotics, exploring how to design smart responsive robotic systems capable of real-time decision-making and precise interaction with their environment. The results were impressive: participants successfully trained and deployed lightweight neural networks on STM32 devices, enabling their prototypes to detect, classify and react to specific surgical scenarios with minimal latency.
