Course Overview

The robot is one of the most effective inventions by the human mind that can achieve wonders. The technology of robots is recent and it is grabbing the attention of many young minds. Technology is creating many opportunities and offers wide scope in this sector. Introduction to Human-Robot Interaction is the initiative by EdX to make interested learners step into the world of robots, their design, and their work. The course is the initial part of the Human-Robot Interaction professional certificate. Candidates enrolling in this course shall be exposed to the designing and working of robots. They shall also be introduced to the concept of human-robot interaction.

Human-Robot Interaction professional certificate training will be delivered by the assistant professor of the University of Canterbury. The course will teach the learners about the software and tools utilized in the making and working of robots. This is the introductory course that shall help the students to learn the basic concepts of robot designing, working, and human-robot interaction. The students shall also receive Introduction to Human-Robot Interaction certification by EdX after completion of the course if they have chosen the verified mode to join it. While joining it in the free mode, the learners will have only a limited duration of access to the course materials.
