The first field test of my Raspberry Pi Zero W driven Desert Bot
This site was created so I could share what I know about robotics with other hobbyists.
What do I know about robotics?
- As a kid I used to take apart all my toys and use the parts to create robots. It's been a lifelong fascination.
- I was inspired by my grandfather who worked for the MIT Radiation Lab (radlab) in the 40's and specialized in electronics.
- I studied Medical Electronics Engineering at the Franklin Institute of Boston.
- My first job after college was in a robotics factory. The robots featured an arm that traveled along a z-axis to move silicon wafers in hostile conditions (acid, heat).
- I have worked for software companies in Silicon Valley, along Boston's Route 128, and New York's Silicon Alley.
- After many year working on cloud-based software projects I now work on cloud-based robots. The robots are AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) that assist warehouse workers in picking, packing, replenishing and sorting products in fulfillment centers and even grocery stores.
