Title: Full Stack Robotics/IoT Using Go

There has been plenty of hype about robots and the Internet of Things, but not enough reality. We’ve been busy changing all that with our vision of “full stack robotics” built using open source software such as Gobot (http://gobot.io (http://gobot.io/)), a framework for physical computing written in the Go programming language.

Full stack robotics consists of:

• Front-ends and human interfaces
• Frameworks and tools
• Integrations
• Things

We will show a complete application with live demos of actual devices, along with some of the Golang code written with Gobot that makes it all work. Time to get real about the robot evolution!
