Course Overview

Belonging to the IT, and Computer Science field, this Begin Robotics certification is a mini-course offered together by the University of Reading, and FutureLearn. Robots are everywhere, even on Mars, and even present in our entertainment films. The great Stephen Hawkings had also predicted that robots will be a threat to human beings in the coming times. So this introductory course is here to explain all about robots and their different forms.

Begin Robotics certification syllabus is here to explain the robotic history, its evolution, and how these exciting machines can be put to work by humans in their daily walks of life. Not only this the candidates get to explore the modernized application of Robotics and human relationships with them.

Begin Robotics training will help to find the basics of robot design, and bring the candidates a step closer to how Hawking’s brain worked in cybernetics. The University of Reading is a reputed organization in research so one can even do a robotic test drive to enhance their practical knowledge with this  IT course.

What you will learn

Robotic skills

This course once finished will guide the candidates in the following ways:

  • There are different robotic forms and even different ways they can be applied, and the candidates will be able to describe them properly.
  • By using sensory information candidates will learn how robots can accomplish tasks after they are allowed correct commands.
  • Candidates will also learn to appreciate the different uses of robotics in varied situations.

Who it is for

If robotics, their history, design is something that excites any individual then this Begin Robotics programme is something that definitely needs to be pursued by them. There is no such need of owning a robot to be a part of this course. If the individuals are allergic to flickering lights then they should avoid this course as the video modules contain such lights.
