University of Colorado Boulder

Introduction to Robotics with Webots

via Coursera Learning path or series

Overview

The overarching learning goal of this specialization in robotics is to create an appreciation for the tight interplay between mechanism, sensor, and control in the design of intelligent systems. By the end of this specialization, you will be able to (1) formally describe the forward and inverse kinematics of a mechanism, (2) discretize the robot’s state from algorithmic reasoning, and (3) understand the sources of uncertainty in sensing or actuation and describe them mathematically. During this specialization, you will gain hands-on experience in Python and use the realistic robotic system simulator, “Webots”.

Courses in this learning path or series 3

  1. Basic Robotic Behaviors and Odometry
  2. Robotic Mapping and Trajectory Generation
  3. Robotic Path Planning and Task Execution

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

  • Structured courses with graded quizzes, assignments and deadlines you can reset.
  • A shareable certificate from the university or company when you pay.
  • Financial aid is often approved for students in India (apply 15 days before you need it).
  • Self-paced: start any time.
  • A clear syllabus (3 parts) you can see before you start.

Disadvantages

  • Paid after a 7-day free trial (Coursera Plus or per course).
  • Some courses can be audited for free, but graded work and certificates need payment.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.

This course is paid. Here is how to take it for free

  • Free trials: You can start a 7-day free trial for many individual courses, Specializations, or a Coursera Plus subscription to test full course features. Cancel before the seventh day if you do not want to be charged.
  • Financial aid: If you cannot afford the fee for a certificate, you can apply for financial aid through the link on the course home page by filling out an application about your background and goals.
