Our first year UG Computer Science students are lucky enough to undertake their Group Project using the Raspberry Pi SwiftBot. Students are required to design and implement a computer programme to make the robot perform different tasks, such as 'Dance' and 'Tunnel Vision'.
This year, we are thrilled to announce the official release of the SwiftBot Connect Mobile App.
This is the very first enterprise-level pedagogical app that directly supports our students and it's entirely built in house! The SwiftBot paired with the App provides us with a bespoke tool to augment student-learning and unlock opportunities in a rapidly evolving technology-driven world.
For this semester, we've handed out over 450 Swiftbots so students can begin programming and carve out their career pathway!
The SwiftBot App was developed by our dedicated SwiftBot team in the Compuer Science department:
Dr Zear Ibrahim - Infrastructure Technology Lead
Mr James Bownas - Lead Software Developer
Dr Stephen Swift - SwiftBot Device Lead
