This website is for the Fall 2023 Berea College offering of the AI and Autonomous Systems distributed robotics course. This course is offered with partners at University of Michigan (content author) and Howard University.
The Robotics Distributed Teaching Collaborative is an initiative designed to promote collaboration across campuses, to expand access to high-quality robotics education to diverse students.
In this course, students are introduced to coding in C++, a low-level programming language popular in engineering, graphics, and various machine learning applications (such as computer vision). We focus on learning ALGORITHMS, the foundational building blocks for autonomous systems, from robots to self-driving cars. Specifically, we’ll learn and implement algorithms useful for navigating through 2D space, such as obstacle avoidance, search, and path planning.
We’ll also explore topics related to applications in robotics, such as hardware design, sensing strategies, ethics and social impact, and careers paths.
Coding is believing
