Home /  Courses And Programs / Futures: Intermediate Robotics with JavaScript

Learn to program robots while learning the popular JavaScript language in order to prepare for the careers of the future.

 

We will start with a review of JavaScript, robotics, and DDE, 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 use OpenJSCAD to design and (optionally) print parts for robots. Students may also gain practical experience with hands-on activities including programming an Arduino compatible bot (materials fee). This class builds on the foundational skills acquired in Introduction to Robotics with JavaScript.

What You Will Learn

 

Students in Futures: Intermediate Robotics with JavaScript will:

  • Prepare for future advances in robotics which may affect the economy and employment
  • Learn how to use the Arduino IDE to reprogram the cardboard bot from the previous course
  • Learn about robot positioning including forward and reverse kinematics
  • Get an introduction to 3D modeling with JavaScript using OpenJSCAD
  • Understand the implications of AI and concerns about its safety
