Course Overview
The Wheeled Mobile Robots programme is a collaborative online course by IIT Madras and IIT Palakkad. Students will learn algorithms and measurements to design basic electrical and mechanical robots. The curriculum adopts an elective approach to product design, mechanical engineering, technology, and manufacturing processes subjects. Those interested in mobile robotics and are at their graduate/undergraduate level will gain the most from this course.
Aiming at undergraduate/postgraduate students, the Wheeled Mobile Robots certification syllabus is spread across eight weeks. It explains sensors, robot types, mapping, motion controlling, navigation, and error propagation. Students will also learn the Newton-Euler and Lagrange-Euler methods of mobile dynamics. Assignments and study references come along as course materials.
Learners can opt for the Wheeled Mobile Robots certification to verify their newly acquired knowledge. They must register via the course website for the proctored examination conducted by Swayam at select examination centres. Additionally, they must complete the study and submit all the in-course assignments.
