The program offers a unique opportunity to live and learn on the UC Berkeley campus, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI and robotics technology while networking with leading researchers and industry experts.
The Robolabs Foundation AI Summer Academy at UC Berkeley offers high school students an immersive, week-long program in artificial intelligence, robotics, and engineering. Participants engage in hands-on projects and expert-led workshops, developing technical skills in areas such as AI object detection, 3D printing, CAD, and mechanical design. The curriculum is informed by the Robolabs VEX AI Team's R&D insights, ensuring students gain industry-relevant skills. Students work with cutting-edge technology, including Intel RealSense cameras and NVIDIA Jetson processors, to build and program sophisticated robotic systems. The program aims to provide a transformative educational experience that strengthens college and career pathways in AI and robotics, culminating in real engineering portfolio work.
A typical day includes breakfast and team-building, followed by lectures on topics like robot mechanical design or neural networks. Hands-on labs focus on computer vision, object detection, or VEX AI vision systems, with guest speakers from companies like Amazon or OMRON providing industry insights. Afternoons involve interactive lectures and workshops, with evenings dedicated to social activities, dinner, and sometimes field trips.
This program is ideal for students aged 13-18 with an interest in robotics, AI, and engineering, regardless of prior experience, who are looking for a hands-on, immersive experience on a university campus.
