Students gain practical experience by developing functional humanoid robot prototypes under the guidance of university mentors, applying concepts from NYU's robotics curriculum.
The mBODY: Embodied Intelligence for Humanoid Robotics program offers advanced high school students an immersive, project-based introduction to embodied intelligence in humanoid robotics. Students will engage with lectures adapted from NYU's university-level robotics curriculum and gain practical experience through team-based projects. Under the guidance of mentors from Project STEP, a Vertically Integrated Project at NYU focusing on open-source humanoids, participants will explore core concepts of embodied intelligence, including how humanoid robots perceive, learn, and respond intelligently to their environment. The curriculum covers computer vision, reinforcement learning using tools like NVIDIA Isaac Sim and MuJoCo, and access to high-performance computing resources. By the end of the program, each team will design, develop, and demonstrate a functional prototype addressing a real-world engineering challenge in humanoid development, providing a strong technical foundation and interdisciplinary perspective for future studies in robotics and artificial intelligence.
A typical day involves lectures adapted from the university's robotics curriculum and practical, team-based projects under the guidance of mentors, culminating in the design and development of functional prototypes.
This program is designed for advanced high school students who thrive in fast-paced engineering environments with a passion for independent, hands-on exploration in robotics and artificial intelligence.
