Session (60 min)
When Software Meets Robotics: Building a Self-Driving R2D2!
"How hard can building a self-driving robot really be? I have Co-Pilot and ChatGPT, after all." The over-confident words of a cloud architect who is too sure of himself drastically overestimate his ability; what could go wrong?
In this session, we'll look at my "Autonomous-ish" R2D2 robot and all the things that went wrong, still don't work 100%, and things you can avoid doing next time you get a crazy Project Idea! We'll even see if he can drive around with releasing the magic black smoke!
