So you are interested in robotics. Maybe you have purchased or have been given a robot STEM kit. Maybe your interested in potential courses in robotics.
You are interested in learning more…
Following are some potential courses that you may find online or in a school or university. The courses are arranged into the 10 major areas of robotics.
We have included some references to some online courses. Please note that we are NOT endorsing any of them, but indicating that they are available and a lot of them are free. The courses should give you an idea of what is available and where to look. Also, there are a number of universities that offer engineering degrees in Robotics.
If you can’t find coures of interest, please let us know. We have some teachors that may be interested in assembling a new course if there is enough interest.
- Introduction to Robotics is an introductory course covering the basics of robotics, including components, systems, and applications.
- Robot Programming is a course on programming robots. Courses may teach the basics of the C, C++ and Python languages which many robots are programmed in. Many of the courses will not cover robot system architecture, interrupt processing and the techniques specific to robot control and automation. If you are interested in programming robots, then it is important to learn basic programming first.
