Abstract
This article introduces Pyro, an open-source Python robotics toolkit for exploring topics in AI and robotics. We present key abstractions that al- low Pyro controllers to run unchanged on a variety of real and simulated robots. We demonstrate Py- ro’s use in a set of curricular modules. We then de- scribe how Pyro can provide a smooth transition for the student from symbolic agents to real-world robots, which significantly reduces the cost of learning to use robots. Finally we show how Pyro has been successfully integrated into existing AI and robotics courses
