Work in Progress: Developing an AI-Enhanced Immersive Curriculum for Environmental Robotics

A convergence of technology advancements including spatial computing, augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) can now support the personalization of learning environments and dynamically respond to learner performance data with personalized feedback. Augmented Learning for Environmental Robotics (ALERT), leverages advances in technology to research, develop, and test an augmented reality-enhanced (AR) curriculum for learning how to develop and use robotic environmental monitoring tools for collecting data on environmentally sensitive construction sites. With this project, our research team aims to develop the ALERT curriculum as an immersive learning environment, implement automation processes that dynamically adjust to learner performance, and address a pressing problem in the construction sector with recent advances in small robotics and remote sensing.
