✨ This talk was recorded at Lambda Days in June 2024. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://lambdadays.org ✨ With the advent of inexpensive 3D printers and microcontrollers, the prospect of the average person building their own robot has become a reality. The problem: incorrectly designed machines have the annoying tendency of breaking, meaning that a failed build can be a fairly expensive prospect. As such, it can be advantageous to simulate your robot virtually, before wasting time and money on a broken robot. Bowler Studio is a robotic digital twin simulator, which allows for an entire end-to-end process of designing, testing, and eventually building your robot. It supports many programming languages, including the functional language Clojure, allowing for a nearly-purely-functional experience. This talk will walk through some very basic robotic building and testing, and viewers should leave with enough understanding to start building their own. Let's keep in touch!
