Teach and Learn Robotics and AI
Create hands-on vehicle autonomy classes and get ready for the era of AI robotics.
Mastering robotics and AI should not be a struggle.
Born from an MIT first-class experience, Duckietown makes robotics and AI education accessible, effective, and engaging.
We provide streamlined teaching solutions for instructors, hands-on learning experiences for students, and an open research platform for developers.
More than a course, Duckietown is a comprehensive learning ecosystem with interactive lectures, real-world simulations, physical robots, rich documentation, and dedicated technical support, bridging theory with practical application.
We want to allow everybody to learn AI and robotics even if they are not at elite institutions like MIT and ETH ZĂĽrich.
Duckietown is for learners who want to learn robotics and AI independently, have a deep understanding of how things work, and gain professional skills to boost their careers.
With Duckietown you can build your own robot, follow along with our lectures, and interact with a global community of learners.
Learning robotics and AI is not only for students.
Duckietown has been used extensively for research on mobile robotics and physically embodied AI systems, with Autolabs providing accessible means for reproducible research.Â
