How to Build Your First Robot - series
Through a series of four workshops, Miloš Rašić, a master electrical engineer specializing in robotics and biotechnology, will guide you from an idea to a functional robot that you can control using a laptop, joystick, or ROS system.
The series is designed for anyone stepping into the world of robotics for the first time.
About This Workshop
Discover the World of Robotics First-Hand
Have you ever imagined controlling a robot but never had the chance to build one? This four-workshop series guides you through the entire process — from the initial idea to a small functional robot that can be controlled using a laptop, joystick, or ROS system. The workshops are designed for students who are new to the world of robotics.
From Theory to Hands-On Practice
Forget dry diagrams and textbook theory — here you will design, assemble, and program your own robot. Each workshop combines theoretical foundations with practical exercises, including electronics, mechanics, CAD modeling, 3D printing, and programming. By the end of the series, every participant will have a functional robot ready for control and experimentation.
Why Join?
This is your chance to dive into robotics through hands-on work and experiments, develop your technical skills, and ultimately build a robot that works and responds to your commands. Join us and create your first robot!
Workshop 1 – Concepts and Introduction (October 24)
Get familiar with the basics of robotics, microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and electronics for robots. Learn how sensors and actuators work, and how to prepare a 3D model for printing. Everything is demonstrated through practical examples and simple experiments.
Covered topics: Basics of Robotics, Basics of Electronics, CAD & 3D Printing
Workshop 2 – Assembling the Robot (October 29)
Learn how to build a robot step by step. You will disassemble an actuator, study gears and encoders, connect electronics and 3D components, and finally assemble hardware ready for programming.
Covered topics: Mechanics, Electronics, CAD & 3D Printing
Workshop 3 – Robot Control and Operation (October 30)
Focus on software and control: program the microcontroller and laptop so that the robot can move using a joystick. Learn about PID controllers and how to stabilize wheel speed and position.
Covered topics: Python, C++, PID Controllers, Basic Robotics Calculations
Workshop 4 – Robot Operating System (November 5)
Discover the core concepts of ROS2, creating nodes, topics, and services. Test the robot with sensors and implement autonomous functionalities such as stopping before obstacles.
Covered topics: ROS2, Electronics – Sensors, Python – ROS2
