# Rust on Robots: Hands-on Embedded Rust on STM32


- **Date:** Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
- **Time:** 16:00–18:00 (120 min)
- **Room:** Room M7 (18 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe

## Description

Rust is fast, modern, and great at catching typical embedded mistakes early—exactly what you want on real robots. In this hands-on workshop we’ll start with a short, practical Rust introduction and then move directly into exercises: writing Rust, solving small tasks, and finally flashing and testing code on an STM32.

The focus is not “Rust theory”, but a smooth path from “I can program” to “I can build and run firmware in Rust”. We’ll cover the mental model you need for embedded Rust (ownership in practice, safe APIs, error handling), and how this translates into robust robot code.

You’ll work in pairs or small groups, with guided steps, short challenges, and a working reference project you can take home. Ideal for RoboCup and robotics enthusiasts from education and industry who want to try Rust as a tool for reliable embedded development.
