Introduction to Robotics with Webots

About this course

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”.
