Course Overview
The Mechanics and Control of Robotic Manipulators Certification Course is a massive open online that deals with the basics of robotic systems and robotic manipulators. This certificate course in robot mechanics is led by Prof. Santhakumar Mohan of IIT Palakkad on the Swayam online platform. The course makes use of Matlab or Simulink, other course resources and tools mputational exercises using Matlab/Simulink or similar tools will be part of weekly exercise.
The Mechanics and Control of Robotic Manipulators Training is provided through expert lectures and course materials. The course will cover the fundamentals of mechanics and control of robotic systems along with mathematical modelling simulations, computational exercises. Once all steps of evaluation are done, you will get the Mechanics and Control of Robotic Manipulators Certification by NPTEL and IIT Palakkad.

Eligibility Criteria
Exam Qualification Details
Students should score 75% out of 100 for the proctored exam of the course. You should score an average assignment score of 25% of the average of the best 6 assignments out of 8 assignments. The final score will be calculated by adding the average assignment score and the exam score. You will receive the certificate only in case the average assignment score is >=10/25 and the exam score is >= 30/75.
