[Coursera] Robotics: Aerial Robotics

About this course: How can we create agile micro aerial vehicles that are able to operate autonomously in cluttered indoor and outdoor environments? You will gain an introduction to the mechanics of flight and the design of quadrotor flying robots and will be able to develop dynamic models, derive controllers, and synthesize planners for operating in three dimensional environments. You will be exposed to the challenges of using noisy sensors for localization and maneuvering in complex, three-dimensional environments. Finally, you will gain insights through seeing real world examples of the possible applications and challenges for the rapidly-growing drone industry. Mathematical prerequisites: Students taking this course are expected to have some familiarity with linear algebra, single variable calculus, and differential equations. Programming prerequisites: Some experience programming with MATLAB or Octave is recommended (we will use MATLAB in this course.) MATLAB will require the use of a 64-bit computer.

    • Hi,

      Please go to coursera website search for the specialization and click on courses. There you can see the courses under the specialization. Enroll the individual courses and select audit the course at the bottom. They will let you access the entire course for free but without a certificate. I assume downloading the course and auditing it wont make any difference.

      God bless
      Regards,
      Achu
