On May 21, Joe Tinnell, the head coach of CTEC Robotics, will introduce us to their robotic expertise and present the essential knowledge and skills required to construct a CTEC robot.
Furthermore, Joe will provide an in-depth analysis of the rapidly expanding application of robotics, both domestically and globally, in conjunction with the integration of artificial intelligence.
