Introduction to Robotics with Webots

The Introduction to Robotics with Webots specialization offers comprehensive learning in the design and control of intelligent robotic systems. Through a series of modules, you will delve into forward and inverse kinematics, trajectory planning, and uncertainty management in robotic sensing and actuation.

Throughout the program, you will gain hands-on experience using Python and the Webots simulator to implement robotic behaviors, map trajectories, and execute complex tasks. The course is designed to provide a deep understanding of mechanisms, sensors, and control, enabling you to develop the skills necessary for a career in robotics.

• Model mechanisms, sensors, and actuators in a physics-based online simulator
• Understand basic reactive and discrete controllers
• Perform forward kinematics computations for simple (non-)Holonomic mechanisms
• Apply coordinate transforms to multi-dimensional sensor signals
• Use discrete planning techniques such as Dijkstra and A* to compute optimal robot trajectories
• Implement complex sequences of behaviors using behavior trees
