FEEC at the VIDA! Robots! Event Thanks to Our Students

On January 24, the Brno science centre VIDA! turned into the heart of the robotic world. The VIDA! Robots! event offered visitors a unique insight into modern robotics and showed that today’s technologies can be not only precise, but also fun and inspiring. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication (FEEC) at Brno University of Technology (BUT) also took part in the programme, preparing several interactive stations for both young and adult technology enthusiasts.

A big thank you goes to the students Jan Toman, Lukáš Gajdík, Matěj Hromek, and Jakub Oselka, who introduced visitors to the humanoid robot inMoov and a walking penguin robot. The students also newly prepared the workshop Crazy Beetles, where children could build their own moving robot and take it home after completing it.

We would also like to thank the instructors Veronika Junasová and Ondřej Šteffan, who led the workshop Move the Robot!. Visitors had the opportunity to try programming the six-legged robot Tobbie II and teach it various movements – even dancing.
