Course Overview
Ever wondered how self-driving vehicles sense their surroundings and drive themselves? In our hands-on Smart Car Building Course, you’ll get the chance to dive into hardware by assembling and putting together your very own smart car, equipped with advanced sensors and intelligent capabilities to auto drive. Experience the satisfaction of seeing your creation come to life as it allows you to explore the real world of futuristic vehicles.
Learn to program your smart car’s brain, master its navigation systems, and unlock the secrets behind autonomous transportation. At the end of this course, everyone gets to own and bring home their very own smart car to continue their learning journey.
Explore the core concepts include mechanics, structural stability, and weight distribution.
Learn about motor control and rotation, including concepts such as adjusting the center of gravity and using paired wheels or tracks for different chassis structures.
Create programmed self-driving vehicles using variables, creating loops, implementing conditionals (if statements).
* For safety reasons, the kit is designed as a non-soldering set with advanced technology, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The project outlook may be subject to change depending on the availability of the required hardware components.
