Course Overview
The Robotics: Aerial Robotics Certification Course is the first out of six of the Robotics Specialization Programme offered by the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. The course provides a detailed introduction to the mechanics of flight, the working of quadrotor flying robots and the robotics engineering mechanism that supports other micro aerial vehicles.
The Robotics: Aerial Robotics Online Course will provide a window towards different dynamic models, device controllers, and planners operating in three dimensional environments. Through this 100% online course, learners will be able to witness real world examples from the immensely growing drone industry along with its practical applications.
The Robotics: Aerial Robotics Training Course is taught by Prof. Vijay Kumar, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics of the University of Pennsylvania. The course would require learners to have some mathematics knowledge in linear algebra, single variable calculus, and differential equations along with basic programming experience with MATLAB or Octave.
