Controlling Robots like NASA

It started with a product listing for a four-wheeled device that looked like a fun weekend project.

Before long, upgrades made our robot aware of its environment and much more fun to control.

In this talk, attendees can expect to learn the abbreviated version of everything we learned not to do when it comes to building and controlling remotely operated vehicles. We'll dive into the hardware side of things, talk about protocol-driven development, why memory and garbage collection are crucial and how we made all parts work together, reliably.

{Ba,E}dge Computing: adding compute to your attendee badge

In this talk, we dive into the process of enhancing (yes, CSI-style) your attendee badge with job orchestration capabilities. We combine open hardware, free software, and some soldering to create a badge that can do more than just show your name.

Along the way, attendees will learn about job orchestrating at the edge, considerations for open hardware, power consumption and what to look for when combining unsupported CPU architectures with software.
