How can AI be used in robotics, and what should students learn for this field ?

AI can help robots recognise objects, interpret sensor data, navigate environments and respond to changing conditions. For example, a robot may use computer vision to identify an object before deciding how to interact with it. Students interested in AI and robotics can start with Python and basic programming, then explore mathematics, electronics, sensors, control systems and computer vision. You do not need to build an advanced robot as your first project. Begin with a simulation or a small programming exercise that recognises objects or processes sensor-like data. As your skills grow, you can combine AI with robotics hardware and more complex systems.
