A hands-on look into building an autonomous robot, covering the full-stack from hardware to software and robotics concepts. Hear about what worked, what didn't, the rabbit holes I went down and where development is heading next

Jonathan has been programming, sometimes more successfully than others, since he was a child. Starting in MS DOS with Microsoft QBASIC, he moved to writing websites pretty quickly before moving on to web applications 'because that Excel spreadsheet needs replacing'. In this talk Jonathan will talk about his journey from the beginnings to now. We'll look at some historic code examples (embarrassing!) and continue to the present day. Yes, there'll be some mention of AI too.
