Powerpuff Robots: Circuits, sparks and everything smart
General description
Robotics is a concept that’s talked about in many movies, yet the average person has no idea how robots actually work! The mere mention of the word “Robot” sparks intrigue: how is it possible for it to do what it does, how does it work, who is the genius behind the creation… but the curiosity often ends with those questions left unanswered. People usually lack the motivation to try and understand the reality behind how robots work, so they imagine the topic to be explained by magic, which is why BEST Skopje has decided to organise the amazing course titled: “Powerpuff Robots: Circuits, sparks and everything smart!”.
Join us and dive into the electrifying world of circuits, programming, creating and developing and experience the magic behind robots! Use this opportunity not only to learn and advance your understanding of very futuristic concepts, but to also explore the beautiful balkan cities of North Macedonia filled with beautiful sights and historical landmarks that are must-see.
Do not miss out on this chance to become the person that answers the aforementioned questions, is the genius creator of robots and enriches their cultural and historical knowledge!

Academic information
- Fields of activity:
- Computer Science/Automatic Control/Informatics , Control Engineering/Systems engineering , Electronic/Electrotechnical Engineering
- Content and topics:
- The participants will learn about robotics as an interdisciplinary field, uniting electronics, control, mechatronics, and informatics. They will get introduced to the mathematical and physical backgrounds of the way robots function, and will also complete tasks and challenges involving robotic arm manipulation or mobile robot navigation.
- Learning goals and objectives:
- Introduce the fundamental concepts of robotics to the participants. Teach and explore robot structures, sensors, actuators, and kinematics. Implement basic robot control, programming, movements, and integration of sensor feedback. Develop simple obstacle avoidance algorithms (for mobile robots) and pick-and-place actions (for robotic arms). Discuss the present and future of robotics.
- Examination type:
- Final project
- ECTS credits issued:
- 1.0
Information for applicants
