Exploring the Use of LLMs for Teaching AI and Robotics Concepts at a Master’s Degree

This article explores the use of Large Language Models (LLM) as transformative tools for teaching Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics concepts at the master’s level. LLMs, exemplified by models like ChatGPT, present a unique opportunity to revolutionize the pedagogical landscape by offering advanced capabilities in any service robot. The study investigates the integration of LLMs in the instructional framework, through the llama_ros tool, capable of replacing different classic cognitive functions in a transversal project across different subjects of an official master’s degree. The research presents as an example the creation of an LLM-based chatbot on an open hardware platform called Mini Pupper. The reader will find how to emphasize the potential of LLMs to shape their inclusion in bachelor’s or master’s programs.
