Course Overview

The ‘Robotics: Perception’ online course is developed for the students to enhance their knowledge of the process involved in object grasping which is accomplished by the computation of the 3D posing of objects and the robot navigation. This Robotics specialization course is a part of the mechanical engineering domain under physical science and engineering, it is provided for the students on the online education platform Coursera and is offered by the University of Pennsylvania. The course is a self-paced learning program where the students will take approximately thirty three hours to complete the course. 

The intermediate level certification engages the students to familiarize themselves with the concepts of visual odometry and landmark-based localization to understand the process of navigation in robots. The course curriculum is offered with subtitles in French, Portuguese, Russian, English, Spanish for the candidates to experience a better learning process. The ‘Robotics: Perception’ training program by Coursera ensures a certificate for the participants who complete the course.
