Two-Week Summer Camp: Autonomy Foundations with NVIDIA Jetson Nano
Dive into the cutting-edge robotics and artificial intelligence world in this exciting two-week Autonomy Foundations with NVIDIA Jetson Nano summer camp!
This camp offers a hands-on introduction to how AI powers robotic perception and autonomy using the powerful NVIDIA Jetson Nano and JetBot platform. Campers will explore real-world robotic capabilities, including networking, collision avoidance, path following, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).
Duration: Two weeks (Monday–Friday), 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM.
Camp Highlights
- Curriculum Overview: Based on the CS-STEM Network Autonomy Foundations course, participants will:
- Assemble and configure their JetBot, including initial setup, WiFi connectivity, and system operation.
- Learn basic navigation techniques, precise motion control, and teleoperation.
- Integrate and test sensors like LiDAR, IR cameras, and bumper sensors to enable their robots to perceive and interact with their environment.
- Train their JetBot using supervised learning for collision avoidance and path following.
- Experiment with advanced navigation techniques, including AprilTag Navigation and SLAM, for mapping and autonomous exploration.
- Hands-On Projects and Challenges: Campers will complete engaging mini-projects and challenges, such as:
- Building and programming their JetBot for tasks like navigating obstacle courses and performing inspections.
- Using data collection and AI modeling to teach their robot to avoid collisions and follow paths.
- Tackling challenges like an AprilTag Maze and SLAM Time, where campers will generate maps and navigate unknown environments autonomously.
- Skill Development: Gain practical experience with AI, robotics software like ROS (Robot Operating System), and tools like Jupyter Notebooks. Develop critical problem-solving and programming skills needed for careers in robotics and autonomy.
