Physical AI

Draft course plan · Volume IV

Overview

Students build and evaluate a robot whose learned policy proposes each action and whose independent governor decides whether to permit it. Measurements of the resulting motion inform the next decision. The course is a proposed hardware studio and has not yet been taught.
