Course Overview

The Robotics: Mobility Certification Course is a 100% online course that explores the specifications of robotic mobility through the study of robotic motors and sensors. The course available on the Coursera platform is the third out of six in the Robotics Specialization programme. 

Through the Robotics: Mobility Training Course, learners will be introduced to the complex process of robotics design, robotics mobility, and kinematics. They will be instructed by Daniel E. Koditschek, Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering at The University of Pennsylvania.

After completing the Robotics: Mobility Live Course through expert video lectures, informative readings, graded assignments, quizzes, and exams, learners will receive a certificate of completion. The flexible structure of the course will allow learners to reset the deadlines according to their preferences.
