关于内容
Welcome to the first course in the Robotics MicroMasters series. This is an advanced course designed for learners who have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a similar field.
Learners will succeed in this course if they have familiarity with basic operations on matrices and vectors, as well as exposure to derivatives and partial derivatives.
The fundamental challenge this course addresses is how one can create robots that operate well in the real world.
- How to describe, analyze and think critically about fundamental problems in robotics, such as how to change the position or configuration of a robot
- The role of mathematics in describing robotic arms, mobile robots and other robotic platforms
- How to use the industry standard programming environment, MATLAB
前提
- College-level algebra and trigonometry (matrices, vectors)
- Fundamentals of calculus (derivatives, partial derivatives)
- Basic knowledge of computer programming (variables, functions, control flow, some knowledge of graphs)

EdX est une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne (dite FLOT ou MOOC). Elle héberge et met gratuitement à disposition des cours en ligne de niveau universitaire à travers le monde entier. Elle mène également des recherches sur l'apprentissage en ligne et la façon dont les utilisateurs utilisent celle-ci. Elle est à but non lucratif et la plateforme utilise un logiciel open source.
EdX a été fondée par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology et par l'université Harvard en mai 2012. En 2014, environ 50 écoles, associations et organisations internationales offrent ou projettent d'offrir des cours sur EdX. En juillet 2014, elle avait plus de 2,5 millions d'utilisateurs suivant plus de 200 cours en ligne.
Les deux universités américaines qui financent la plateforme ont investi 60 millions USD dans son développement. La plateforme France Université Numérique utilise la technologie openedX, supportée par Google.
