Description

Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization is a set of modern robotics training published by Coursera Academy. In this course, practical training topics such as robot mechanics, planning and design of various robot mechanisms, control, cinema, robot dynamics, motion planning (Motion Planning), planning and control of robotic arms, etc. are discussed. . Will be located. This educational set is a medium and semi-professional level set and students are expected to be familiar with the basic principles and foundations of engineering. During the training process, this course introduces a set of tools for analyzing, planning and controlling the robot and uses it in a very practical way.

In addition to technical and hardware skills, they will become familiar with a range of software skills such as mathematics and will be able to develop various software for controlling and programming robots. Unlike other Corsara training programs, the courses in this series must be studied in order from one to six.

What you will learn in Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization

Simulation of various robots using cross-platform tools and software in a completely professional and realistic way
Programming and software programming of various robots
Different types of industrial and functional robots
Dedicated mathematics for robotics
And …

Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization Prerequisites

What background knowledge is necessary?

This specialization is designed to be accessible to students who have taken typical college first-year (freshman) engineering courses. The student should have an understanding of:

Freshman-level physics, including f = ma; masses, springs, and dampers; vector forces; and vector torques (or moments) as the cross product of a distance vector and a force;

Linear algebra, including matrix operations, positive definiteness of a matrix, determinants, complex numbers, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors;

Some calculus, derivatives, and partial derivatives;

Basic linear ordinary differential equations; and

A little bit of programming experience.

Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?

It is highly recommended you follow the courses in the specified order, since the material builds on itself throughout the Specialization.
