As a recent Computer Science graduate I wanted to pursue a masters in Robotics. However, I couldn’t do so due to the cost, so I said screw it, I’m building my own. I’ve created AI agents that generate a personalized 4-year curriculum based on top-tier robotics courses from institutions like MIT, TU Delft, and Stanford. The goal is to go from novice robotic enthusiast to a performative Robotic Researcher. I’m currently on day 4 of what I call my “AI Agentics” education. Through my descriptive prompts, The agent has already mapped out a quarterly timeline and uses Firestore as a local database to track my progress, including the current day, course, and learning milestones. It also generated a Google Spreadsheet outlining every course I’ll be tackling over the next four years. While the formatting could use some love, the structure is solid. And since I want to deeply understand the mathematical and physical foundations of robotics, I’ve fine-tuned the agent to heavily emphasize math and physics alongside core robotics topics. Now you might be wondering, “Wait, isn’t it generating the information on the spot? Isn’t that risky?” And yes, it absolutely can be. These AI agents operate on probabilities, which means the information they produce isn’t guaranteed to be accurate. That’s exactly why I’ve designed the system to guide me rather than teach me directly. Instead of generating content, it points me toward trusted resources, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, educational videos (MIT and Stanford Lectures, 3Blue1Brown Videos, etc.), and encourages me to do the research myself. Because if I’m serious about becoming a robotics researcher, I need to actually learn, not blindly follow whatever the agent spits out. This is still the beginning of the journey, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out. But one thing I really appreciate is how I aligned the agent to assign me daily exercises through Khan Academy and prompts me to log my progress. That way, it can update the grade tracker and keep my learning path accountable. I'm genuinely intrigued by what I can learn from my creation. These agents that I created are my own personal experiment to determine if AI Agents can teach a graduate higher level education without needing to pay a massive tuition within a University. When I conduct my first proposed research paper, I plan to send it to a highly qualified professor in any University with high regards in research. This will tell me at the end of these 4 years, whether if I have learned or wasted so much time throughout this process. I am hoping for the first case of course.
