Robotics

I know that robotics are beginning to become very advanced. Nissan has introduced a Robot that is self run and self-governing named Nismo. Also scientists have been able to create robotics which can function for themselves because they are connected to sensors so they can respond to the environment. They are hooked up to rat brains which can be used to process the information input from the censors.
I would be very interested in taking a robotics or programming course if it was offered because i find it very interesting.
