Why do none of these classes ever seem to provide enough information about the actual content?
For example what programming language will be used in this class?
"but I'll try to answer any questions you have here."
ok so here is a question.
How do you plan to let people online actually program a robotic car? (More likely) Do you plan to have some kind of simulated environment? Make hardware accessible through the web? actually run student programs on hardware (and send results back to students)? Make datasets from actual car sensors available?
I am just wondering about the scope of the course here. More information would be great.
Tangential: Does anyone actually write Robotics code in Python? All real life examples I've seen (that actually drive robots vs teach an algorithm) uses C/C++.
The robotic car class is a separate class, so I'm not able to answer all the questions about that one. (I am pretty sure, though, we won't be able to actually send people physical robotic cars! There will be a simulated environment, but it will use real data.)
Not relevant to your course, but do you know if it is planned to put other courses, like Compilers, Programming Languages Theory, Symbolic AI and maybe also Operating Systems, in the near future?
Yes, there are plans to develop enough courses to cover all the major topics that would be part of a good university CS degree (although not always following the traditional structure of these courses), but it will be a while before more courses are launched.
