Professional Background & Expertise​

I'm Muhammad Waheed, an AI and robotics enthusiast with a passion for creating accessible educational content in the field of Physical AI and Humanoid Robotics. My journey in technology has been focused on bridging the gap between complex AI concepts and practical robotics applications.

My expertise spans across multiple domains including:

• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Robotics frameworks, particularly ROS 2
• Simulation environments like Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac
• Vision-Language-Action systems
• Educational technology and curriculum development

Motivation for Creating the AI-Native Textbook​

The inspiration for creating the AI-Native Textbook for Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics came from a recognized need in the robotics education space. Traditional robotics curricula often lack comprehensive coverage of modern AI integration with physical systems, especially in the context of humanoid robotics.

I wanted to create a resource that:

• Provides a structured, 13-week curriculum covering essential robotics concepts
• Integrates cutting-edge AI technologies with physical robot systems
• Makes advanced robotics concepts accessible to students and practitioners
• Covers the entire pipeline from sensor integration to autonomous decision-making
• Uses industry-standard tools and frameworks that professionals actually use

The goal is to democratize access to high-quality robotics education and prepare the next generation of engineers for the future of AI-physical interaction.
