please house, is there anywhere in naija where one can acquire practical knowledge in robotics. Not really the building human robots aspects but constructing and controlling equiments and appliances with programming. I was thinking of struggling my way overseas to do it but my employers won'agree. I read electrical/electronics eng. but not really into practical and presently on my MSc in IT but it pans out i have to do some extra work on my own to blend both certs. Any advice will b appreciated.

Get Microsoft Robotics or check out the Arduino project.
