This is also a lab which can be undertaken in a short period (1.5 to2 weeks) by students using low-cost hardware and traditional laptops running MATLAB.Although the video frame rates are generally slow in this configuration (5 to 10 fps) the goal ofsystems integration of an AI deep learning system with a mobile robot is achieved.Figure 4: Block Diagram for Deep Learning Integration Project with Mobile Robot4.

artist’s vision would be pointless without the presence of structural engineeringsolutions that could bring these visions into existence. Famous artists in the pastincluding but not limited to, Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso were not only consideredtalented artists and known for their creativity, but also for the machineries theyengineered along with their artwork. In fact, it can be said that art and engineering gohand in hand, and much of the technological and artistic wonders that we see in frontof us in the 21st century are the pin ultimate combination of these two fields. Theproblem however arises primarily in today’s education system; In general, engineersacquire little to no arts instruction. Universities' engineering departments hardly
