DuckieBot
Originating at MIT, Duckietown is a platform for delivering cutting-edge robotics and AI learning experiences.
They offer teaching resources to instructors, hands-on activities to learners, an accessible research platform to researchers, and a state-of-the-art ecosystem for professional training.
​
DuckieBot is the first DIY kit from Duckieown .They are low-cost mobile robots that are built almost entirely from off-the-shelf parts. The only onboard sensor is the forward-facing camera.

DuckieBot
The DuckieBot workshop is the second workshop that i have attended which included Assembling, Coding, Debugging and Tweaking the bot until it was ready to navigate the soon to be made DuckieTown.
A Duckietown is the urban environment consisting of roads, constructed from exercise mats and tape, and the signage that the robots(DuckieBots) use to navigate around.
The Project was left incomplete since we did not have the required hardware to run the bot. Suffice to say that it has provided me with an opportunity to work with live AI bots and to code them!
