Topics Covered in this Class

                                                                                   Advanced Robotics Class – Intelligent Systems & Complex Builds

Step into the world of high-level robotics where engineering, programming, and problem-solving come together. This class challenges students to design, build, and program robots capable of performing complex, coordinated actions in real time.

  • Multi-Structure Engineering: Design and assemble robots with multiple mechanical systems—such as articulated arms, intake mechanisms, conveyors, and lifts—that work in harmony to complete demanding tasks.

  • Sensor-Driven Decision Making: Integrate and process data from various sensors—distance, optical, and more—to allow robots to detect, adapt, and respond to changing environments.

  • Algorithmic Programming: Develop advanced control algorithms, including sensor fusion logic, conditional branching, and efficiency-optimized movement patterns, to achieve reliable automation.

  • Performance Challenges: Apply your skills to complete mission-style challenges where precision, adaptability, and system coordination are key to success.

  • This course is ideal for students ready to go beyond the basics and engineer robotics solutions that think, move, and work like real-world machines.
