Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization 2022-6 – Full Version

Description

Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization is a modern robotics training package 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, planning and control of robotic arms, etc. are addressed. . Will be located. This educational package is a medium and semi-professional level package and students should be familiar with the basic principles and foundations of engineering. During the training process, this course introduces a set of robot analysis, planning and control tools and uses them 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 be able to develop various robot control and programming software. Unlike other Corsara training programs, courses in this series must be studied in order from one to six.

What you will learn in modern robotics: specialization in mechanics, planning and control

Simulation of various robots using cross-platform tools and software in a totally professional and realistic way
Programming and software programming of various robots
Different types of industrial and functional robots
Mathematics dedicated to robotics
And …

Modern robotics: prerequisites for specialization in mechanics, planning and control

What prior knowledge is needed?

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

First-year physics, including f=ma; masses, springs and shock absorbers; vector forces; and vector torques (or moments) as the cross product of a distance vector and a force;

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

Certain calculations, derivatives and partial derivatives;

Basic linear ordinary differential equations; and

Some programming experience.

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

It is strongly recommended that you take the courses in the order specified, as the material builds throughout the specialization.
