Course Introduction 01
Robots are widely used in various industries: smart floor-cleaning robots have long entered our homes, and aerial photography and disaster relief always involve the presence of smart drones. The dawn of general artificial intelligence makes the coexistence of robots and humans portrayed in science fiction no longer distant. The explosive development of technology in recent years has made the potential for development in the field of robots unimaginable. It can be foreseen that in the future, robots will not only be convenient tools for humans but will also become indispensable partners. Understanding and even mastering robot-related technology can make you a pioneer and creator of the future.
"TechX Robotics and Embedded Systems" will take you to learn and explore the most practical robot technology. The theoretical part will start with the concept of robots, learning motion models of mobile robots, processing and integrating perceptual information from various sensors, precise control of actuation mechanisms, and then a deeper understanding of algorithms for robot positioning, mapping, navigation, and more. In the practical part, we will provide 3D printing technology for you to build your own designed robot, complete the practice of the above algorithms and scenarios, and ultimately participate in a robot launch event. In addition, as an advanced task, we will also lead everyone to integrate knowledge of deep reinforcement learning and computer vision, understand real-world robot application scenarios such as lane recognition and autonomous driving, to improve and optimize your own designed robot in this area. You will also explore how robots can be combined with the rapidly developing large models and look forward to the infinite possibilities that will be brought about by the development of robots under the influence of general artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces in the future.

"What XA has brought to me, the improvement of CS literacy goes without saying, but what I am more grateful for is being able to meet the top and most outstanding peers of my age. I have seen living MIT, CIT students, consulted TAs who can do nothing but debug, and also gained a bunch of board game friends. Perhaps saying that my dream is to change the world will be laughed at by people, but XA has given me the confidence to turn my dreams into reality."
This road is long, and the places to go are filled with poetry and ideals. The tears and sweat left behind yesterday make me more tenacious and courageous now. This is what XA has taught me: we can always be a little braver."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the student-teacher ratio in the major courses?
In each year's X ACADEMY summer program, the ratio of mentors to explorers is 1:5, with 1-2 mentors and 2-5 course assistants (academic leaders) in each course. Compared to traditional large classes, you will have more abundant opportunities for communication and learning.
I heard that the major courses of X ACADEMY are very hardcore. Will I fall behind when the course starts?
Can I only study one major course at X ACADEMY?
