Boosting Productivity with IPython
Speaker: Boey Pak Cheong
Get iPython from http://ipython.org/ or at Github repository.
When first start off with Python and used the Python shell, you may feel it is severely limited compared to other environments. Then came the interactive shell that is QT-based, and finally the arrival of the Web Notebook.
Whats interesting is decoupled evaluation from the REPL environment, into its own kernel process. This allows several clients to connect simultaneously to the kernel.
You get features such as
And so we have magic functions in iPython.
Similar to vi, the !<cmd> gives you a shell escape. You can capture the output by using var = !<cmd>. For debugging purposes, run %debug to activate post-mortem debugging.
Heres another nifty feature: loading code from URL %load http://matplotlib.org/mpl_examples/showcase/integral_demo.py
You dont even have to install IPython, run it online at http://nbviewer.ipython.org/. See some examples at http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Part%201%20-%20Running%20Code.ipynb#

Joe is giving an interesting introduction to Amazon Web Services Elastic Beanstalk with Python.
You can use Elastic Beanstalk for free. You only pay for the underlying resources - see the Elastic Beanstalk pricing page.
Joe is giving a live demonstration of writing Python code, deploying it to AWS and using Elastic Beanstalk. Since I cannot share it here, try watching these videos instead.

Next up, someone who is constantly pushing the edge of programmable robotics with plenty of experience in Arduino, is going to show us Python in robotics environment.
Did you miss out the Micro Python at Kickstarter? Well according to the speaker this may have limited use - think about the low level sensors and LEDs that you are controlling using Python, a high level language.

First of all, lets take a look at what Tastypie is. Seems even the worlds most powerful person loves Tastypie.
N-O-P-E. We are talking about this Tastypie. In programmers slang: Tastypie is a fuckin awesome API framework for Django for creating REST interfaces (and sod off if you need to say lily-livered stuff like REST-ful or REST-style).
Being an Asian, I am naturally gifted at regurgitating content, so these are the features plucked right from the website:

Does the word "concurrency" scares you? It scares me. So heres the gist of concurrency in Python by Farzad. The whole idea is to break up a big chunk of processing into smaller chunks. The important question is - in what order are the chunks processed? One of the biggest problem has always been unpredictable execution path.
GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) is not going to help you if your application is CPU Bound only. At the moment there is no solution yet.

Python in Robotics Development
Speaker: Yap Wen JiunTime: 1450
Next up, someone who is constantly pushing the edge of programmable robotics with plenty of experience in Arduino, is going to show us Python in robotics environment.
Did you miss out the Micro Python at Kickstarter? Well according to the speaker this may have limited use - think about the low level sensors and LEDs that you are controlling using Python, a high level language.
Introducing you to the Robot Operating System, a meta OS for robotics applications. You get:
- hardware abstraction
- low-level device control
- etc
If you are a commercial user, good news, ROS is BSD-licensed: i.e. you can do anything with the code, including modify and sell it, without sharing your modification. Simply acknowledge the author in the copyright section.
Try to cut up your robotics systems to as many Nodes as possible. So that it is modular and easy to use. The Node is the core entity in ROS
- Small program written in Python or C++
- Executes relatively simple task
- Every node can be started and stopped independently of each other
You have to imagine your ROS application as a graph of nodes. Nodes get to know each another via rosmaster, and they can communicate via Topics and Services. These small programs can be written in C++ or Python.
Some examples:
Asus Xtion Pro / OpenNI camera

- Reasonable defaults
- Designed to be extended at every turn
- Includes a variety of serialization formats (JSON/XML/YAML/bplist)
- HATEOAS by default
- Well-tested & well-documented

Concurrency in Python
Speaker: Farzad GhaneiTime: 1600
Does the word "concurrency" scares you? It scares me. So heres the gist of concurrency in Python by Farzad. The whole idea is to break up a big chunk of processing into smaller chunks. The important question is - in what order are the chunks processed? One of the biggest problem has always been unpredictable execution path.
GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) is not going to help you if your application is CPU Bound only. At the moment there is no solution yet.
Threads are:
- Good for user interactivity
- Not good for CPU bound tasks
Coroutines brings co-operating concurrency, with predictable execution. Think yield. See also PEP 380 and greenlet. Imagine three persons holding hands and walking together - explaining greenlets.
Whilst explaining Twisted, Farzad said
His own experience of using 200 processes performed much better than threads, process and gevent.
Take note that each frameworks website will claim their solution performs better than other alternatives. Performance varies according to the nature of the task (CPU-bound or IO-bound), and you have to test it out yourself before concluding which framework is the most suitable.

For statistics producers, Diamond is a daemon that run collectors (network interface I/O to RabbitMQ) at specific frequency, and send them to Carbon.
Here is what it looks like with StatsD/Graphite.
On the monitoring side, use Shinken - because it scales better than Nagios.

ROBOTIS Mini Dance Contest Rules for the KC Area Schools Pilot Competition Spring 2016
Dancing with the Robots
How to Enter:
For a school to enter into the contest a team must be formed based on the following:
á Four our more students being overseen by a teacher
á Team must show variety of interests in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) fields
This team must then make a video answering the following questions:
1. What is unique about your team?
2. Which category of STEAM is each member interested in the most?
3. What will be unique about your teamÕs robot?
4. What theme and song choice is your team considering for the routine?
The video will need to be submitted onto ROBOTIS INC Youtube channel before March 25th. The teams will be decided and announced by March 27th.
Contest Guidelines:
The teams that are selected will be provided with a DARWIN-MINI kit to build, program, and choreograph for their routine. The performance must follow the guidelines below:
á There must be at least one student on stage with the robot for majority of the performance
á There can be up to 5 robots in the routine, but they all must utilize ROBOTIS Dynamixel actuators and one robot must be a DARWIN-MINI
á All robots must be fully autonomous
á No dancer is allowed to come into physical contact with a robot, but the robots themselves may interact
á Routine should stay within 2-5 minute timeframe
á Props, costumes, staging, and original music are highly encouraged
When a team feels that they are ready, they will need to record, edit, and submit their performance to the ROBOTIS Inc. contest website before July 30th.The video will then be forwarded to the companyÕs Youtube channel which is where the teams will need to promote their videos among their contacts to receive the most amount of ÒlikesÓ beforeAugust 13th.
After the promotional deadline, the voting process will cease and reviewed to be tallied into their initial score. Then a process for designated judges will determine the winning team. The winner will receive an award for their school and a trophy.
Below is more detail about the Dance video competition:
