Course Overview

Technology has rapidly evolved to the point that robots are commonly used in factories as workhorses that perform complex tasks and assist humans in dealing with challenges. However, such robots remain tethered to their workstations and cannot move around. The Autonomous Mobile Robots programme deals with mobile robots that can freely move around in their environment. 

To facilitate this movement, robots must possess competencies like perception, localisation, map-building and collision avoidance. This course on Autonomous Mobile Robots by edX delves into these methods that go into the making of a mobile robot. It also covers the basic concepts and algorithms required to develop a mobile robot. 

ETH Zurich, one of the leading institutions for technology, has created the Autonomous Mobile Robots course for learners on edX. The main objectives of this programme are to equip candidates with the knowledge and technical know-how necessary to develop a mobile robot. Moreover, the 15-week online programme is available for free to audit. However, the candidates will have access only for a limited duration. For full access and the certificate of completion, the students must enrol by paying the fee.
