Intelligent Robotics Hardware
Course Overview
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of IoT robotics and artificial intelligence by combining hands-on sensor technology with machine learning and automation. Students begin by building and programming sensor stations to measure environmental factors like temperature, humidity, air quality, and noise, learning to analyze and visualize this data through real-time IoT dashboards. They then explore AI fundamentals by collecting image data, training models on a computer, and deploying these models to recognize objects in practical scenarios such as intelligent barriers and sorting lines. Throughout the course, learners gain experience in precise motor control, remote and voice operation, and modular programming. They also develop skills to evaluate AI performance and improve system reliability. By integrating these technologies into cohesive projects, students build practical problem-solving abilities and a strong foundation for future careers in robotics, AI, IoT, and automation.
