课程概述

Do you want to know how robots work? Are you interested in robotics as a career? Are you willing to invest the effort to learn fundamental mathematical modeling techniques that are used in all subfields of robotics? If so, then the "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control" specialization may be for you. This specialization, consisting of six short courses, is serious preparation for serious students who hope to work in the field of robotics or to undertake advanced study. It is not a sampler. In Course 1 of the specialization, Foundations of Robot Motion, you will learn fundamental material regarding robot configurations, for both serial robot mechanisms and robots with closed chains. You will learn about configuration space (C-space), degrees of freedom, C-space topology, implicit and explicit representations of configurations, and holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. You will also learn how to represent spatial velocities and forces as twists and wrenches. This material is at the core of the study of anything that moves (e.g., robots). This course follows the textbook "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control" (Lynch and Park, Cambridge University Press 2017). You can purchase the book or use the free preprint pdf. You will build on a library of robotics software in the language of your choice (among Python, Mathematica, and MATLAB) and use the free cross-platform robot simulator V-REP, which allows you to work with state-of-the-art robots in the comfort of your own home and with zero financial investment....

It is the best course to start the career in the field of robotics.All the explanation related to the terms and topics in the video is very short.It gives the theory part in a good way. But there is no numerical problem, which is tough to understand it and how to implement it.If this platform will provide the answer key of book ,it will be very helpful for all the user to match their answer(Only answer Key of the all chapters).

its a bit too theory heavy and you need to do the reading yourself in my opinion they couldve done this course in a better way maybe explain the fundamentals better and solve some problems the majority of engineering students understand when they see a problem solved but here he just explains for 4 mins and you would have to do alot of reading honestly not worth the money he couldve done a better job

This course is great for building the foundations of robot motion. The assignments are good and the flow of the course is nice too. However, course and the book lacks the practice problems. Sure there are exercises at the end of each chapter in the book but it would have been nice to see some solved problems which would help clear the concepts further.

In the course and also in the book, the formulas are not that well explained to make one able to solve the problems without searching for the topic in some other book or resources. Also in the video, the Professor skips some explanations of the formulas /derivations.

Clear description and detailed analysis not available in the 4th week. Making it quite cumbersome process to realize the mistakes done in answering the questions (especially last quiz of 4th week)

this course is good for new learners but the programming part is not detailed explained in video lectures and the questions are too tough to be solved. other then , interesting course .

certain things were hard to grasp expecting more detailed explanations in an easier language

Dry math with very little practical examples. The videos add almost nothing to the content of the (free) textbook. Tests only verify the understanding of the math and the programming functions. I really hope that the next course will be more fun.
