The speaker initiated his session by first showing some of his works and talking about what Bangladesh Robotics foundation does and how it came to be. He then started from rock bottom, starting from basic electronics and slowly elevating towards the topic, obstacle avoiding robot. He provided a brief presentation on the required components and how each of them functions, with more emphasis put on the Arduino itself. After a good theoretical session, he then moved towards the practical session of the event, ensuring that the participants received the full hands-on experience of the making of the robot.
