As a result of the project, 4 startups formed within the “Skills for the Future” initiative have attracted a total investment of 310,000 AZN. 🚀

The “RoboCode III” robotics coding camp has officially launched.

During the first training session titled “What is ROS2 and an Overview of Its Ecosystem,” the role of ROS2 in robot programming, its modular structure, DDS-based communication mechanism, and architectural principles were explained in detail.

In the upcoming sessions, participants will reinforce their theoretical knowledge through practical tasks and work on simulations as well as real-world examples.

Within the framework of the “Startup, Innovation and Support” program, a project of the “OBA” supermarket chain, the Innovation Solutions Marathon has been launched.
