Robots

Explore the role of robots and autonomous systems in the factories, homes, hospitals, schools and cars of our near future. In the near future, many of us will work alongside robots. Knowledge of robotics and autonomous systems will be a helpful skill for a surprising number of today’s careers. [...]

Basic concepts and algorithms for locomotion, perception, and intelligent navigation. Robots are rapidly evolving from factory workhorses, which are physically bound to their work-cells, to increasingly complex machines capable of performing challenging tasks in our daily environment. The objective of this course is to provide the basic concepts and [...]

Design, build and program a simple robot and share it with other learners. Here’s your chance to build a simple robot. Robotics is all about integrating hardware and software. In this course, you’ll design, build and program a simple robot, with at least two joints, that can carry a [...]

The world needs people who understand how to get robots moving. Making robots move requires both mathematical knowledge and programming skills. We begin with the problem of describing where things are in the world. Starting simply, we consider objects in a two-dimensional plane, exploring the concepts of position, pose, [...]

How do you feel about robots? Learn how robotics is used today and explore how it might help solve the big issues of our time. Once only found in fiction, robots are being applied in an increasing array of ways in society, from mechanisation of industrial tasks to exploring [...]

Learn how to design, build, and program dynamical, legged robots that can operate in the real world. How do robots climb stairs, traverse shifting sand and navigate through hilly and rocky terrain? This course, part of the Robotics MicroMasters program, will teach you how to think about complex mobility [...]

Master the foundational math concepts that drive robotics and put them into practice using MATLAB. How do you create robots that operate well in the real world? Learn the key math concepts and tools used to design robots that excel in navigating our complex, unstructured world in environments such [...]

You will learn how to infer the position of the quadrotor from its sensor readings and how to navigate it along a trajectory.
