I believe in different thinking, and I know that I can learn how to build robots by doing and watching.

My name is Dragos Calin, and I’m a computer and automation engineer. I enjoy building autonomous robots.

The story
I started building robots in 2016. Very soon, this occupation turned into a hobby, and ultimately became a regular job besides daily work.
The beginning was difficult because I studied the wrong things in the wrong way. I waste a lot of time trying to program autonomous robots. If I gave the time back, I would take it on another learning path. Now, I firmly believe the reason I failed was that I wasn’t learning in a practical, hands-on manner. The easiest way to build autonomous robots is to learn skills, techniques, and algorithms through actual real-world projects.
Learn by doing
Knowledge isn’t a pyramid. Theory tends to be based on the pyramid model. Instead of working directly with a practical example, we are learned to start by teaching a more abstract theory from which all practical examples can be derived.
Learn by doing and watching tends to ignore the theory model, which is good, because the theories often aren’t as accurate as of the practical knowledge anyways.
Focusing on practice first, allow you to learn how you were designed to learn – by doing and watching other people.
Getting started to build autonomous robots is easier than you think. I created this website to show you real things for a specific purpose. As an example, learn to build a robot by picking a particular piece of software or electronics you want to make.
The theory builds on practice and not the other way around. If you follow this website, I promise you’ll find resources and practical projects to build autonomous robots.
