Web apps are great and everything, but imagine using JS to fly drones and make them dance to the sounds of dubstep! Or to control disco lights and other robots! Sounds fun, right? In this talk, we will not only explore how we can write code to make this possible, but it will also be full of exciting, interactive (and possibly dangerous ;) ) demos!
Tech
By bringing a variety of hardware to this talk, we'll see what fun a developer can have with very little hardware knowledge and minimal code.
Hardware used in this talk will include (but not limited to):
AR.Drones
Sphero
Pebble
Arduino
Raspberry Pi
Beaglebone Black
Spark Core
Tessel
Leap Motion
iBeacons
PS3 game pad
PS3 Dance mat
Cocktail robots
We will use Cylon.js & Johnny-Five in the code examples, but this talk is about celebrating the combination of JS and Robots, not about promoting a specific framework.
Bonus
If my talk is accepted, I hope to brew some beer for the conference. Wouldn't it be fun to watch some Mad Science talks while drinking {}.js IPA
