ROB 102: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Programming was first taught in Fall 2021 at the University of Michigan.

The course is about learning to program computers for the C and Julia languages in a way that increases the understanding of artificial intelligence and its algorithmic foundations. No previous programming experience is required.

The course is taught by UM's new Robotics department, the first robotics department in the top ten engineering schools.

Many of ROB 102's lectures and activities are available online:

However, many course activities also require the robot shown.

Topics covered include:
• Sense-Plan-Act paradigm
• Finite state machines and reactive automata
• Feedback control
• Wall following and subsumption architectures
• Potential field navigation and optimization algorithms
• A-Star algorithm and graph search
• Neural networks and image classification
