Technical requirements

  • You do not need to bring any equipment.

What can you expect?

In this workshop, you will get to know pib - the humanoid robot from the 3D printer, which you can assemble yourself step by step.
You will screw, program and test it yourself at various hands-on stations. Simple, fun and hands-on.
Whether you're a beginner or a technology fan, you can indulge your curiosity and gain your first experience with robotics and AI.

What you will learn in this workshop:

  • Robotics and AI: entry into the world of robotics and artificial intelligence

  • Practical experience: step-by-step instructions for assembling the humanoid robot "pib"

  • Hands-on activities: screwing, programming and testing at various stations

  • Playful learning: Simple, fun and practical approach

Agenda:

  • Brief introduction of pib

  • stations

  • Conclusion

Stations of the workshop:

Station 1: Construction & functionality

  • You assemble a robotic hand from 3D-printed parts.

  • You will learn how the biomechanics of the human hand are replicated in robotics.

Station 2: Programming

  • You control pib with block programming or Python.

  • You teach it to perform precise movements and poses.

Station 3: Artificial intelligence in dialog

  • You give pib its own personality through prompts.

  • You talk to it or let it solve tasks.

Station 4: Intelligent object recognition

  • You learn how AI understands images and create your own object recognition.

  • You assign labels to images and see how machines learn to interpret their surroundings.

Station 5: experience pib live

  • You interact directly with pib.

  • The robot recognizes your movements and emotions and imitates your gestures.

Procedure

Brief introduction to AI-supported image and video production, practical live demos, trying out the tools together and reflecting on possible applications in art & education.
