About this course

The Diploma in AI and Robotics is a nine-month, on-campus programme at BCI in Negombo. Classes are held on Saturdays across 40 sessions of 7.5 hours each, which adds up to 300 contact hours. BCI lists the programme at 20 credits. Students begin with computer systems and electronics principles, then move through programming for AI and robotics, foundations of AI, machine learning, deep learning and computer vision, Arduino and NodeMCU prototyping boards, sensors and actuators, robotics and automation, natural language processing and generative AI, and an introduction to IoT. A final project takes four sessions. The stated objectives include building problem-solving skills with machine learning, NLP and computer vision, programming robotic systems with sensors, actuators and controllers, and considering the ethical and professional side of AI.
