28 September 13:00-17:00KTH - ITRL, Stockholm

Robotics & AI: The Camp Catch-Up

Did you miss out on our Robotics & AI Summer Camp? Don’t worry — this Pink Sunday is your chance to get a lite catch up! 

We’re kicking off the season in Stockholm with an exclusive visit to the Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL), where cutting-edge research meets real-world applications of robotics and autonomous vehicles. This isn’t a sit-back-and-listen kind of event — it’s a hands-on experience. 

At this Pink Sunday you’ll: 

  • Remote-drive a self-driving miniature car using path-planning algorithms like A*
  • Test how block programming and smart traffic lights can save energy in cities
  • Explore beginner-friendly AI for robotics in MATLAB

Guided by Annika Wong, Elnaz Eghtesadi and Elisa Bin — researchers and engineers— who will share how algorithms leap from theory to the road. They’ll also talk about their own journeys in robotics, AI, and smart mobility, and how collaboration fuels innovation.

Come curious, ready to try new things, and excited to connect with others in tech. Let’s get this Stockholm season started!

Programming language: Block programming & MATLAB

Workshop level: Beginner & Intermediate

More details and free tickets below!  

Pink Sundays are our popular coding events where women and non-binary people can meet up, code and network together!

        Inspirational Session & Coding Workshop

        From Lab to Road: How Robots Learn to Move

        Session by: Annika Wong, Elnaz Eghtesadi & Elisa Bin

        We will kick off the day with a guided tour of the Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL). Participants will get an introduction to the lab’s mission, projects, and real-world applications of robotics and autonomous vehicles. Introduction talk: How robotics, AI, and smart mobility technologies are shaping the future of transport. We’ll share stories from our ongoing research and collaborations, showing how algorithms go from theory to real-world demonstrations. Goal: Inspire participants with a vision of how their coding skills can connect to robotics and AI, and set the stage for the hands-on workshops

          Code, Drive, and Think: Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles at ITRL

          Workshop by: Annika Wong, Elnaz Eghtesadi & Elisa Bin

          Join us for an inspirational visit to the Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL) and get a behind-the-scenes look at the robots and vehicles shaping the future of mobility. Participants will be welcomed into the lab and rotate through three exciting hands-on workshops:

            1. Remote Driving with Path Planning
            Control a simulated and real 1/10th scale SVEA vehicle using FleetMQ software. Learn how path planning algorithms like A* and help autonomous vehicles find their way.

            2. Block Programming & Smart Traffic Lights (GLOSA)
            Discover how block programming can control a small vehicle and understand how smart cars optimize speed at traffic lights to save energy.

            3. AI Workshop in MATLAB
            Explore the basics of AI for vehicles and robotics using MATLAB in a beginner-friendly session.
