Course Type: Engineering

Robotic systems typically include three components: a mechanism which is capable of exerting forces and torques on the environment, a perception system for sensing the world and a decision and…

In this engineering course you will learn how to analyze vaults (long-span roofs) from three perspectives: Efficiency = calculations of forces/stresses Economy = evaluation of societal context and cost Elegance…

How can robots use their motors and sensors to move around in an unstructured environment? You will understand how to design robot bodies and behaviors that recruit limbs and more…

How can robots determine their state and properties of the surrounding environment from noisy sensor measurements in time? In this module you will learn how to get robots to incorporate…

Welcome to the first course in the Robotics MicroMasters series. This is an advanced course designed for learners who have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a similar field. Learners…

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…

PLEASE NOTE: This version of the course has been formed from an earlier version, which was actively run by the instructor and his teaching assistants. Some of what is mentioned…

How can we create agile micro aerial vehicles that are able to operate autonomously in cluttered indoor and outdoor environments? You will gain an introduction to the mechanics of flight…

In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to perform engineering simulations using a powerful tool from ANSYS, Inc. This is a problem-based course where you'll learn by doing. The focus…

Flying drones or robot manipulators accomplish heavy-duty tasks that deal with considerable forces and torques not covered by a purely robot kinematics framework. Learn how to formulate dynamics problems and…
