🚀 Jetsu: A YSWS Robotics Program

What is Jetsu?

Jetsu is a cutting-edge robotics program that empowers participants to build AI-powered robots with financial support. The goal is to inspire innovation, originality, and hands-on learning in robotics and machine learning.

🛠 How It Works

Participants will receive funding to build their own robots. But before that, they need to complete two key steps:

✅ Submit a Bill of Materials (BOM):

  • A detailed list of all components needed for their robot.

  • The total cost must be under $100.

✅ Publish an Initial Machine Learning Project on GitHub:

  • A well-documented repository demonstrating their ML skills.

  • This will serve as proof of expertise before funding is provided.

🔹 Development Process

Machine Learning Models

  • Participants must train and develop their models on their own laptops to control their robots.

Originality & Accountability

  • WakaTime will track coding activity to ensure authenticity.

  • A detailed project journal must be maintained to log work hours and progress.

AI Assistance

  • Tools like GitHub Copilot are allowed, but projects must be self-made and plagiarism-free.

Open-Source Contribution

  • To qualify for funding, all projects must be open-source and publicly available.

🎯 Rewards & Incentives

Participants who successfully complete their projects will receive:

🎁 Jetson Nano Developer Kit (4GB) – For all participants who complete their project.

🎁 NVIDIA Jetson Orin (8GB) – For those who log 100+ hours of development and improvements.
