Duckietown at the MobiLab in Karlsruhe!

Duckietown at the MobiLab in Karlsruhe!

October 28, 2026 10:00 - 14:00MobiLab am Kronenplatz, Karlsruhe
Discover the world of autonomous mobility and teach your very own Duckietown robot how to drive! 

Are you interested in robotics, programming, and autonomous vehicles? Then our Duckietown workshop is just right for you! 
During this hands-on morning session for middle and high school students, you’ll learn 
how autonomous vehicles perceive their surroundings and make decisions on their own. You’ll 
program a real Duckietown robot and experience innovative robotics applications 
up close. 

Together, you’ll solve exciting programming challenges: 
 
Teach the robot to navigate an obstacle course on its own.  Develop a line-following system so the robot can recognize a path and follow it.  Learn how autonomous vehicles “see,” detect obstacles, and navigate.  Gain your first hands-on experience in the fields of robotics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.   
No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!
 
When? October 28 to 29, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Where? MobiLab at Kronenplatz, Karlsruhe  Refreshments? Drinks and snacks will be provided.    
Registration: !! Still places left!! Register via email to info.eucor@intl.kit.edu, including the participant's name, 
age, and contact information (email and cell phone number).
 
The DuckieTown project will be part of the Eucor MobiLab Roadshow 2027 and looks forward to welcoming participants and visitors at all roadshow stops.
 
A joint event organized by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in cooperation with Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.
