Demonstrating the Capabilities of MindStorms NXT for the AI Curriculum
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the possibilities offered by the new NXT platform for CS artificial intelligence curricular development. The NXT provides a number of hardware improvements over the RCX, including a faster processor and more memory. We demonstrate the curricular materials developed in the LMICSE archive, including autonomous mobile robot localization and SLAM.
