Learn Robotics

Learn Robotics. Edmoss

Learn Robotics with Edmoss is a three-month training that will expose attendees to the basics and advanced knowledge of Robotics. Robotics is an interdisciplinary sector of science and engineering dedicated to the design, construction and use of mechanical robots.

Robots are gaining intellectual and mechanical capabilities that don’t put the possibility of a R2-D2-like machine out of reach in the future.

Though relatively young, the robotics industry is filled with an admirable promise of progress that science fiction could once only dream about. From the deepest depths of our oceans to thousands of miles in outer space, robots will be found performing tasks that humans couldn’t dream of achieving alone.

The training will also give attendees a concrete grasp of robotics, including different types of robots and how they’re applied across industries. From the use of programming languages to programme hardware, attendees are sure to get value for the $200 they pay for the training.

Date – May 5, 2022

Time – 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Venue – 42 Olowu street, Off Mobolaji bank, Anthony way, Ikeja, Lagos,

Participants will learn What UI / UX Design is, What a UI/UX Designer’s day-to-day task is like, Soft skills needed to become a UI/UX Designer and the misconceptions around UI/UX Design.
