    Course Overview

    Swayam’s Robotics: Basics and Selected Advanced Concepts certification course is a 12-week, elective learning programme, built to familiarise students with robotics’ introductory and advanced areas. The curriculum’s initial stages cover robotics’ introduction, its technology, offering a unified treatment for analysis and modeling of hybrid, parallel, and serial manipulators, using Denavit-Hartenberg’s parameters. Learners also study inverse and direct kinematics of parallel and serial robots, and their associated mobility and workspace concepts.

    IISc Bangalore has curated the Robotics: Basics and Selected Advanced Concepts programme. It also uses hardware and experiments developed by the institute’s research students themselves. For a real-time hands-on experience, the course facilitates students to work on their hardware experiments and software simulations.

    The Robotics: Basics and Selected Advanced Concepts certification syllabus continue with explaining velocity, Jacobian matrix, singularities’ concepts, linear control, model-based control, deriving motion equations via the Lagrangian matrix, and numerous other vital topics. Aspirants also learn about advanced areas like wheeled mobile robots’ analysis and modelling, cable-driven micro-robots, deployable structures, etc. Through all these, candidates become fluent in fully controlling robots and this subject’s higher-level concepts. Post-completion, they can also register to earn Swayam’s e-verified certificates.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Students looking to join the Robotics: Basics and Selected Advanced Concepts by Swayam must hold undergraduate-level programming and mathematics experience. 

    Moreover, Swayam will evaluate 25% of a student’s best weight assignments (amongst 12) and 75% of their proctored test marks. He/she must attain at least 10/25 in the assignment score and 30/75 in the examination to receive the Robotics: Basics and Selected Advanced Concepts certification. If students score 40/100 or more without fulfilling these requirements, they won’t be eligible for certificates.
