Program Description

Course Details: • Name: AI Robotics Competition • Date: Start from 1/1/2026 • Time: On Demand • Location: Burlington or Newton Classroom • Grades: G7+ • Prerequisite: R711 Course Description: The AI Robotics Competition Program is an advanced, hands-on learning experience designed for students passionate about robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems. This program immerses participants in the world of competitive robotics using the VEX AI platform—an innovative system that enables fully autonomous robot operation without human drivers. Key Features: Autonomous Navigation: Students will learn how to program robots to navigate complex environments using the VEX GPS system. Computer Vision & AI: Participants will explore how neural networks and stereo cameras allow robots to detect and classify objects in real time. Sensor Fusion & Mapping: The program teaches how to integrate data from multiple sensors to build a shared map of the field for strategic decision-making. Robot Collaboration: Using VEX LINK, students will enable robots to communicate and coordinate actions autonomously.
