Modern Robotics

About Course

Dive into the world of robotics with the **Modern Robotics Specialization** from Coursera. This comprehensive program provides a deep understanding of spatial motion, rigid body dynamics, and advanced robot control techniques. Learn from leading experts in the field and apply your knowledge through hands-on projects. This specialization is completely **free of cost**.

This Specialization will equip you with the skills to analyze, plan, and control robot motion using modern screw theory and the product of exponentials formula. You will gain hands-on experience with real-world robot programming through a free state-of-the-art cross-platform robot simulator, allowing you to work with industrial robot manipulators and mobile robots without any hardware cost.

**Key Learning Outcomes:**

Master the fundamentals of spatial motion and rigid body dynamics.
Learn to apply screw theory and the product of exponentials formula to robotics problems.
Develop software for robot motion planning, trajectory planning, and feedback control.
Gain practical experience with a free state-of-the-art robot simulator.

**Course Structure:**

The specialization consists of 6 courses, recommended to be taken in order, building upon the knowledge gained in previous courses. You will work on projects such as building a simulator for a robot arm, developing a robot motion planner, and writing software for trajectory planning and control of a mobile manipulator.

**Get started today and unlock the power of robotics!**
