Y2: Robotics + AI

by bam

You already know a robot can sense, think, and act, and that AI learns patterns from examples. This course puts those two ideas together. What actually changes when a robot's "think" step is powered by AI that *learned* instead of rules someone typed in? We'll see how a robot "sees" with computer vision, hears with sound recognition, and drives itself (delivery bots, self-driving features, NASA's Mars rovers). You'll learn the difference between programmed rules and learned behavior, train a real model by example, and combine sensors with AI. Because a robot acts in the real world, we take safety seriously: when should a robot stop and ask a human? We'll also think honestly about automation, jobs, and fairness. Then you'll plan a build using a free, no-purchase tool. Everything is tied to a real source you can open and check.
