Educational resources
We offer classroom resources for teaching and learning robot autonomy. These materials have been used at MIT, ETH Zurich, the University of Montreal, and 170+ universities worldwide.
Community Resources
The Duckietown curriculum is structured in “modules”, each of which is supported by several types of materials to reinforce it.
All modules have slides. In the “Extra Materials” column below:
 are links to notes
are links to additional videos
are links to short videos (MOOC format)
are links to learning activities to be run on in simulation and/or a Duckiebot
If you have resources you would like to share with the community, reach out to us!
