Education in the age of AI
Applying Robotics & AI
Autonomous Agents AI Station
An autonomous agent is an intelligent agent operating on an owner’s behalf but without any interference from that ownership entity. An intelligent agent is a car that needs to integrate with the rest of the traffic, a soccer player, that needs to pass the ball to its team members, or a shelf-moving robot in a warehouse that needs to deliver its product to the picker.All of them need to negotiate and collaborate with ad-hoc team members that don’t always share the same goals.
The embodiment of the Autonomous Agent concept is in the soccer game and the RoboCup global competition. Robots are operating autonomously (like real soccer players) while collaborating with team members to achieve the collective goal.
Subjects covered:
Multi-Agent Systems, Learning Transfer, Task Decomposition, Reinforced Learning, Ad Hoc Autonomous Agents teams, Machine Learning
What’s included?
A typical AI Station includes humanoid robots, a mini soccer field, computers and software to program it, curriculum, and accessories.

Smart Warehouse AI Station
The last-mile in automated fulfillment is a smart warehouse, where items move around to answer demand surge and inventory availability. With products moving around autonomously, companies today can deliver an unrivaled performance from online click to shipment within minutes.
At the heart of the smart warehouse is a swarm of robots working collaboratively on order fulfillment, navigating in an unstructured spaces, with many moving parts, working seamlessly on moving stock in and out the warehouse in record-breaking speeds.
Subjects covered:
SLAM, Computer Vision, Navigation, Obstacle Avoidance, Inverse Kinematics, Resource Allocation, Travelling Salesman Problem
What’s included?
A typical AI Station includes Robotic Arms on AGV (autonomous guided vehicles) with various end-effectors, computers and software to program it, curriculum and accessories.

Tele-Operation AI Station
From remote surgery to bomb disposal, in many cases we don’t have the human talent where and when we need it, or we don’t want to risk a human in life-threatening situations.
While Da-Vinci surgical robots are helping doctors perform procedures half-a-world away, they also learn, and soon will be able to perform procedures like stitching better than any human doctor. Accurate translation of human motion, while mitigating errors is essential for a successful tele operation solution.
Subjects covered:
Virtual Reality, Forward and Inverse Kinematics, Machine Learning and smoothing algorithms, motion sensors, display and control algorithms
What’s included?
A typical AI Station includes Robotic Arms with various end-effectors, computers and software to program it, virtual reality headsets, curriculum and accessories.
High School Robotics & AI Labs
Humanoid Robotics Module
Rosie the robot the TV show from the ’60s isn’t science fiction anymore. We have robots that can mop and wash floors, bake pizza, flip burgers, and even make coffee without human touch!
The human-robot interaction field is dedicated to understanding, designing, and evaluating robotic systems for use by or with humans. By understanding and developing these user experiences, humans and robots can collaborate with each other.
Students are getting real-life experience and development of real-world applications in this field. Hands-on experiences are helping them to master these scenarios and prepare them for the new challenges as these new technologies arise.
Subjects covered:
Introduction to Humanoid Robots, Math and Soccer playing robots, game design, human-robot interface, storytelling, visual perception (face detection, face recognition, object detection, and recognition), tactile sensing, Synchronous Motion, Math and Trigonometric functions, Logic, and Problem Solving.
What’s included?
A typical AI Station includes humanoid robots, computers pre-loaded with software to program them, curriculum, and accessories.

Space Exploration Module
Space exploration has captured the imagination of generations. In recent years we are seeing a race to “democratize space” and give access to everyone who wishes (and can afford) to go to space. Companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin are selling tickets to space, and it won’t be long before we could simply hitchhike to mars.
This kit, originally developed by NASA, provides building materials and instructions for building a fully functional model of the Curiosity Rover currently exploring Mars. (well, minus the lasers and the reactor of course) This gives students the ability to work in teams on sub assemblies, from electronics, to mechanical features (such as the six-axles suspension system) and over to programming the rover.
Subjects covered:
Wide range of engineering concepts, mechanical assemblies, electrical assemblies, electronics, programming, mechatronics, locomotion of the rover, math to calculate motion pathways, collaboration and process synchronization
What’s included?
A typical AI Station includes all the parts needed for assembly and building of the rover, mechanical, motors, wiring, structural and electronics parts, computers and software to program it, curriculum and accessories.
