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:

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
