Robo4J is an upcoming open source framework for quickly building robots using popular, often inexpensive, hardware and the Java SE platform. A good example is Coff-E, an autonomous, partly 3D printed, robot using a Raspberry Pi for brains and commonly available off-the-shelf components for actuators and sensors.

This talk will show how to painlessly build an autonomous robotic vehicle using the nascent Robo4J framework. After the talk, you should have a good sense of how to quickly configure and run a hardware system of your own.

The following will be discussed: * An overview of the Robo4J framework. * An overview of the Robo4J tools. * Useful source code examples.

# Miro Wengner 
Miro Wengner is a enthusiast with focus on distributed systems design. He is one of the founders of the Robo4J project. Robo4J is a pure Java framework that helps Developers to be fully focused on IoT project logic instead of hardware difficulties. Miro has started his Java career at SUN Microsystems in 2002 as a Software Engineer and over the years he has been working on the development of big distributed systems running on JVM. Miro has been actively participating on various European conferences or JUGs as speaker or organiser. He is also involved in the JCP Program, doing technical book reviews for Packt Publishing.
