Robotics 102: Intro to AI & Programming

ROB 102: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Programming was first taught in Fall 2021 at the University of Michigan.
The course is about learning computer programming for the C++ and Julia languages in a way that builds understanding of artificial intelligence and its algorithmic foundations. It does not require previous programming experience.
The course is run by the new U-M Robotics Department, the first robotics department among top-ten engineering schools.
Many of the lectures and activities from ROB 102 are available online:
robotics102.github.io/
However, many course activities also require the featured robot.
Topics covered include:
• Sense-Plan-Act paradigm
• Finite state machines and Reactive automata
• Feedback control
• Wall following and Subsumption architectures
• Potential Field navigation and Optimization algorithms
• A-Star algorithm and Graph search
• Neural networks and Image classification

Is there no playlist for this course like ROB311 ?

[@michiganrobotics]

Not yet, but there's a bunch more info on this course here: hellorob.org

[@markmartin2623]

What application do you use in coding? Thank you.

[@michiganrobotics]

Students write code in C++ and Python to control the robot. We have a custom library we developed to allow the students to program the robots based on LCM.

Is this an undergraduate degree course at Umich?

[@michiganrobotics]

Yes, you can find more information on our undergraduate program here: robotics.umich.edu/academics/undergraduate/

[@PrasannaRoutray97]

It would be nice if someone could just post how to build the very same robot and just follow along.

[@michiganrobotics]

We're working on this very project over the summer!

[@detox0321]

Ty would love that! 🤸

[@CssE-no7du]

Updates? Is there a part list/instructions for building the robot? Thank you

[@michiganrobotics]

Yes! Please see mbot.robotics.umich.edu

[@aaronchoi9953]

is there any way that I can buy a Mbot omni?

[@michiganrobotics]

Hello -- we'll be open-sourcing the design, so you should be able to buy all the parts and build one yourself: mbot.robotics.umich.edu

Am from Ghana how to I apply
