Course Description

Introduction to Robotics Specialization will teach you concepts such as robot flight and movement, and how they perceive the environment. This course will also explain how robots adapt their movements to avoid obstacles or navigate through difficult terrains. This course is also useful for complex tasks such as construction and disaster recovery. You will see how robots can be used in disaster situations, and how they can improve human healthcare. They will also be discussed as a potential future use. Programming robots will allow you to perform a range of movements including grasping and flying.
