Course Overview
The Robotics: Capstone Online Course is the 6th course in the 7 course series of Robotics Specialization provided on the Coursera website. In the specialization programme, candidates will get an opportunity to find practical solutions for real-world problems using the techniques learned throughout the course.
The Robotics: Capstone Certification Course is conducted by the University of Pennsylvania under the guidance of Sid Deliwala belonging to the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering. The open online course will equip learners with mathematics and programming skills and methods used by researchers in robotics engineering labs.
The Robotics: Capstone Training Course can be scheduled according to the preferred timelines of learners. The 100% online course is only open to learners who have completed the first 5 courses of the Robotics Specialization. The course will be taught with the help of video lectures and academic readings, and earn a digital shareable certificate at the end.
