Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence resources page.

Here you will find out exactly what our academics are looking for in their students, including skills they look out for, some of the topics they want you to know, recommended reading and useful places to boost your knowledge.

So without further ado let's get started!

Skills we are looking for

  • The ability to independently research
  • Use experience to explore innovations
  • The ability to develop new ideas

Topics to explore before you start

Welcome to the wonderful world of Robotics and AI at the 91心頭. We will present an overview of key trends and developments in robotics and some of the learning opportunities offered here at Herts. Get ready to meet a host of our robots including ones designed by our own students!

Having some knowledge of Python and circuitry may help the student hit the ground running, although all topics are covered in the first year.
