Program for AI Robotics Engineering (PARE):
Focuses on the core capabilities of AI-programmed robotics, such as autonomous decision making, direct hardware control, iterative coding, and independent verification of success.
Scaffolded Program for AI Robotics Engineering (SPARE):
Builds on the foundation of PARE but introduces a network of manager and worker AI Assistants. This hierarchical system experiments with the execution of more complex tasks, that address multiple microcontrollers, by delegating them to sub-workers and abstracting them from the user.

Our testing with P.A.R.E. indicates that an LLM in our framework has the ability to iterate its own designs, debug hardware, and even create unit tests for soft and hardware. We believe these are all essential engineering skills for work with robotics that could be learned by engaged students.
