Description

Robotics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering and science that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. Robots are programmable machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously, often in environments that may be hazardous to humans. Robotics draws on expertise from various areas such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence. If you ever wondered how to start your journey into robotics, then this is the correct course for you. This course is all about the fundamental concepts of building robots. Right from the characteristics of a robot to Sensors used in robots, this course is a power packed Kickstarter into robotics. In this course, we will be using Webots simulation software to develop various virtual models of a robot. This is an opensource software which can be used in any platform and widely used for cross interface with other devices. At this point, you would be wondering what is the purpose of learning simulation using webots? This is a very important topic. This helps people understand how different aspects of a robot work together and achieve what robots do today. We also see where improvement can be carried out. This is all done with lesser cost and time compared with working on a prototype. In this course, we will cover the basics of the different aspects of service robotics and work with Webots.
