PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

mBODY: mBODY is an immersive, project-based introduction to embodied intelligence for humanoid robotics that is designed for advanced high school students who thrive in fast-paced engineering environments with room for independent, hands-on exploration. Alongside lectures adapted from the university’s robotics curriculum, students gain practical experience through team-based projects under the guidance of mentors from Project STEP, a Vertically Integrated Project at NYU that focuses on developing open-source humanoids. By the end of the program, each team will design, develop, and demonstrate a functional prototype that addresses a specific real-world engineering challenge in humanoid development, providing students with both the technical foundation and interdisciplinary perspective to pursue robotics and artificial intelligence at the university level and beyond.
