DESCRIPTION: Robotics is one of the fastest-growing and most complex engineering fields. Almost every type of robot operates in a different environment and has a different behavior or mission. Three of the biggest challenges that developers face when prototyping robots are:

• Integrating with sensors and actuators
• Implementing autonomy
• Deploying deterministic control algorithms to embedded hardware

Learn how the latest design tools from National Instruments can help you meet these challenges and shorten your development time.
