WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
Prepare an autonomous robotics project.
This course focuses on the engineering work behind an autonomous robotics entry. Students develop mechanical and electronic systems, programming, algorithms, computer vision and sensor integration. Training also covers optimisation, an engineering journal, GitHub, competition strategy and mock rounds.
CURRICULUM
What the work involves.
These areas bring the course topics together. Activities and pacing are adapted to the batch.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Skills students work towards.
- Explain the hardware and software choices in an autonomous robotics project.
- Describe how camera and sensor inputs inform a system’s actions.
- Use test results to guide optimisation.
- Document the engineering process and present the team’s contribution.
Students build these skills through practice, with guidance suited to their starting point.
LEARNING BENEFITS
Habits that support the work.
01
Work across disciplines
Connect mechanics, electronics, vision and software in one system.
02
Build a repeatable process
Use testing and records to understand why performance changes.
03
Explain the work clearly
Support design decisions with documentation and observations.
