CUHK_JC iCAR app for iPhone and iPad

Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Faculties of Engineering and Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) spearheaded a three-year CUHK Jockey Club AI for the Future Project (“the Project”). The Project’s objective is to create a new artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum, a sustainable AI education model, with relevant supporting infrastructure to establish a conducive ecosystem in AI education for Hong Kong’s secondary schools.

The Project develops a special AI education toolkit, CUHK-JC iCar, leveraging the past efforts from CUHK research team on the field of AI. CUHK-JC iCar is a combination of STEM/ STEAM and AI education, and teachers can easily upgrade their existing STEM/ STEAM curriculum to AI education using CUHK-JC iCar supported by the commonly used Blocky programming environment. The 9 built-in AI functions inside CUHK-JC iCar facilitate students to learn and experience AI without handling complicated computations. Students can also develop their own AI projects with other possible functions of CUHK-JC iCar.

Through this application, users can connect their mobile to CUHK-JC iCar by Bluetooth without programming. The application can control CUHK-JC iCar’s movement, light effect and sound effect through keyboard inside the application. Users can also carry out 3 experiments including obstacle avoiding, object tracking and line tracking through the application.
