About the Workshop

Advancing Precision & Autonomous Robotics

The DigInto workshop focuses on the design, build, and documentation of autonomous platforms, from 3D-printed tracked robots to GNSS-guided unmanned ground and surface vehicles. Each project is built to demonstrate real-world engineering principles, documented in detail, and made accessible to hobbyists and commercial developers alike.

Led by Steve Zerafa, co-founder of DigInto and founder of PIXAM, the workshop bridges academic research and practical deployment, covering robotics, geo-robotics, GNSS integration, and autonomous navigation systems.
