Students will build and program a robotic vehicle to navigate in road lanes of a model city with obstacles using computer vision-based recognition. Students will recognize essential robot subsystems (sensing, actuation, computation, memory, mechanical) and be able to describe their functions. Students will understand how to command their robot to reach a goal position by remotely operating the robot and see with its eyes.Projects will demonstrate proficiency or advanced proficiency in one or more of Burke’s five computer science domains:
- Ethics of Computing
- Algorithms and Programming
- Data and Analysis
- Networks and the Internet
- Computing Systems
This course is open to all 10th, 11th and 12th graders and also to 9th graders who have completed Intro to Computer Science, is pass/fail, earns .333 credit, and can count as a student’s sixth course.
