About Course:
If you are in mobile robotics field and working on control of mobile robots, take this course without any delay. This course is very useful to understand the control theory behind the safe, stable, controllable and robust mobile robot. 7 week long this course starts with basic theory of the control and covers differential drive model of mobile robot, digital implementation of PID controllers in physical system, state space modeling, checking the stability, controllability and observability of system, navigation and hybrid systems. Georgia Institute of Technology is the creator of the course on coursera platform and they framed course content very well. The Professor Magnus Egerstedt, GeorgiaTech and his team have given full effort to teach you as simple as possible with such advance and modern topic. Glue lectures and quizzes definitely help you to understand the concept of control design of mobile robot.
Control of Mobile Robots is a course that focuses on the application of modern control theory to the problem of making robots move around in safe and effective ways. The structure of this class is somewhat unusual since it involves many moving parts – to do robotics right, one has to go from basic theory all the way to an actual robot moving around in the real world.
Syllabus of course:
- Introduction to Robots
- Mobile Robots
- Linear Systems
- Control Design
- Hybrid Systems
- The Navigation Problem
- Putting It All Together
About Professor Magnus Egerstedt
Magnus Egerstedt is the Schlumberger Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he serves as Associate Chair for Research and External Affairs.
