Feedback

What attendees said after earlier sessions.

“The practice lane was the difference — by the time our run counted, the robot had already failed every corner at least once.”
Dilshan FernandoFourth year, Faculty of Science and Technology
“Watching the vision track run live made the Computer Society session finally click. We are joining that chapter next.”
Ayesha RahmanThird year, Faculty of Management Studies

Speaker

Who is on the platform, and what they bring to it.

Dr. Anura Mendis

Embedded systems lecturer and robotics mentor

Anura has coached student robotics teams for eight years, from first line-followers to national finals. He walks the field through tuning a PID loop the pragmatic way before the gates open.
