Learn to program robots while learning the popular JavaScript language in order to prepare for the careers of the future.
We will review robotics concepts and JavaScript, and then explore the challenges of programming in the real world. Students will use the popular coding language JavaScript to write programs to make robots interact with the world in meaningful ways. Students will learn to process sensor data including images from a camera. Students may also choose to participate in hands-on activities including programming an Arduino compatible bot and building basic electronic circuits. This course builds on the skills acquired in Intermediate Robotics with JavaScript.
What You Will Learn
Students in Futures: Advanced Robotics with JavaScript will:
- Prepare for future advances in robotics which may affect the economy and employment
- Learn basic electronics by adding drivers and sensors to the cardboard bot from the previous course
- Learn about machine vision including OpenCV-JS open-source computer vision JavaScript library
- Learn to perform position localization
- Become familiar with classical and modern AI methods

Newton, James
James Newton is a professional embedded-systems engineer specializing in robotics and data logging. Although James is self-taught and holds no degrees, his communications and collaborative skills have always led to meaningful employment and association. James’ deep love of making and teaching led him to join a small volunteer group that brought Maker Faires to San Diego starting in 2013. This Makers Guild has continued to provide James with an outlet for volunteer work, activities and events geared toward teaching people of all ages the technical skills required to make interesting things. James started with UC San Diego Extension in 2018 by teaching an introductory course for the Program Your Future program. He hopes to continue similar activities as time allows.
