If you are interested in earning a Course Certificate for this course, please upgrade or apply for Financial Aid by August 16th, 2020, if you have not already done so. If you are a Coursera for Business learner, you can continue to use your sponsored credit. In order to earn a Course Certificate, you will need to complete all graded assignments, including peer reviews, by February 17th, 2020. After that point, no new assignment submissions will be accepted for Certificate credit. While we hope that you will be able to complete the course, you can find more information about requesting a refund (https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/209819043-Request-a-refund) or unenrolling from a course (https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/208279756-Unenroll-from-a-course) in our Learner Help Center. Original Course Description: 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, which is the challenge we have set out to address through the different pieces in the course.

What people are saying

control theory

This is one of the greatest introductory courses on mobile robotics and control theory with a rich enough content that I'v taken.

The course is helpful for those who want to understand the control theory application in the mobile robotics field.

excellent excellent The part of Control Theory shocks me.

I hope some day you could offer a course only focused on control theory.

Best course to learn how to apply control theory to real life robots!

Great course for people with or without experience in control theory.

very interesting course!and able to help me summarize the knowledge about control theory I have learnt Great course very interesting and complete.

Great first step into the field of control theory greatest course ever!!!

It's quite a challenge to instill life in the mathematical dryness that is "Control Theory", yet somehow Magnus does it.

It pays to have some control theory and matlab background Great Course!!!!

The course is well structured and helps the student increase his/her general understanding of the Control Theory and Robotics, particularly, about Differential Drive Mobile Robots.

Truly, this course not just covers the theory required to control mobile robots, but also many fundamental concepts of control theory.

This course helped me refresh some basic concepts of control theory, which I had encountered in my ECE studies, as well as see how control fits the big picture of robotics.

Along with the course a control theory textbook will be very useful.

control of mobile robots

Very helpuful introduction of autonomus driving vehicle.The professor is wonderful, I'm looking for deeply investigate control of mobile robots.

A good start about Control of Mobile Robots.

I really enjoyed it from start to finish, it gave a good technical insight in the world of control of mobile robots and it was well balanced between theory and practical applications.

This course is great since it gives a good understanding about control of mobile robots balancing both theoretical and practical considerations in control methods.

I really like this course and I think I have learned quite a lot about control of mobile robots from this course.

It really helps me to get strong with the concepts of control system design for mobile robots A very nice introduction to the control of mobile robots.

Very well structured course covering the main basics on control of mobile robots.

programming assignments

Programming assignments are very good.

The supporting staff do a great job as well, with relevant programming assignments and review lectures.

Dr. Egerstedt's style of presentation of the subject matter keeps the student motivated and helps eliminate the boredom and procrastination tendency generally observed while taking online courses.The weekly quizzes and the optional programming assignments are moderately challenging but awfully interesting and helps get a clear idea of the concepts covered in that weeks lectures.A good course to take if you are interested to look around your world from a control engineer's perspective.

Just do it very nice course it would be better if programming assignments are given importance Great course.

Also will be great to make the programming assignments not optional, maybe?

Plus optional programming assignments in Matlab (which I didn't do as I don't have matlab).

The result of that is loss of motivation to complete the programming assignments.

It is very useful and the programming assignments are awesome.

The course provides a student license for Matlab which does the heavy lifting.The optional programming assignments (in matlab) are fun and not too difficult.

When I took the course the programming assignments weren't graded, which is either a plus or minus depending on how you feel about it.

The programming assignments are fun and doable and most importantly they help me apply the theory I learned in code and watching the robot running is a very satisfying experience.

I loved the concept, the approaches (you have theory, explained thoroughly; there's glue lectures at the end, revisiting the entire week of course and covering concepts more in-depth; there's weekly programming assignments to also learn the hands-on implementation in MATLAB).The teaching is enthusiastic, fun and light-hearted, very enjoyable, from all the speakers involved.I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I'd love to see more from the same team, it's been a real pleasure.

glue lectures

I enjoyed the course, lectures, glue lectures and simulation notes.

The TAs are all good, and the glue lectures help a lot for passing the exam.

The glue lectures and the extra resources with the QuickBot were also very helpful.

I must say the way professor Magnus Egerstedt has taught, his punchlines, bananas, quotes, practicals, and all the simulations and glue lectures by the assistants, all were awesome.

There is a lot of math but they introduced the concept of glue lectures to highlight the aspects from the class that will help you complete the quizzes - so it's not that hard to do it.

and i really like to continue such course the glue lectures are very helpful which provides practically viewing the things which are taught in the main lecture Excellent Course, a thorough introduction to mobile robots control I have learned to systematically approach robotics through this course.

The glue lectures provide important clarity of ideas and derivations before the quiz.

I also appreciate the glue lectures taught by grad students which reviews the concepts learned that week and also gives more examples to demonstrate things.

georgia tech

thank you Georgia tech!!

Maybe one day I write an email for knowing if there is some phd opportunity in Georgia Tech.The guys that help professor with glue lectures and simulator lectures are impressive.Thanks for this course.

But then again I took your course at Georgia Tech as well so I might be biased :) I totally recommend it" Great overview of mobile robots and control systems, systematic and compact!

Thanks Georgia Tech and Dr. Egerstedt!

This really is a terrific course (but then, what else would you expect from Georgia Tech?)

It was amazing course , content was ideal for anyone who is interested on how robots work.Great work Georgia tech team !

Thank you Georgia Tech, Thank you coursera!

dr. egerstedt

Love Dr. Egerstedt's style of teaching.

awesome Currently working on week 6 material but I can say this for certain, Dr. Egerstedt is a fantastic professor, and the course as a whole is great for anyone with an interest in robotics.

well understood espcially the glue leture was good recap of whole week I loved the way Dr. Egerstedt taught the course.

Dr. Egerstedt is a very approachable and motivating lecturer who has an intuitive way to explain things and listening to him makes the already exciting topic even more interesting.

Prof. Egerstedt is a great teacher who explains things in the correct order.

Thank You Prof. Egerstedt for such a wonderful introduction to the application of control systems theory to robotics.

Thank you Prof. Egerstedt for this wonderful course!

One of the best course ever Prof. Egerstedt is a wonderful teacher.

it helps me to improve my s Prof. Egerstedt has wonderful teaching methodology and the content of the course is amazing.

linear algebra

Be prepared for some linear algebra in the theory side of the course.

However, the course learning curve gets steep when you dive into state space form with linear algebra, differential equations, and a lot of math theory.

The math expects you have some basic calculus, physics and linear algebra.

Most of the math you actually have to do is simple linear algebra.

state space

Lots of good, dense information here which helped me solve specific problem I was having designing a robot for a client.I was new to state space modeling so I had to put a decent amount of time learning from alternative sources, the course does not emphasize teaching the mathematics.

Extremely awesome 非常好的课程,讲的很透彻,老师讲课很有趣,学到了很多东西,非常感谢! One of the best course for control robotics Excellent course in the fundamentals of Control Theory that covers topics like closed loop feedback, PID control & its implementation, state space form of systems, and plenty of models, models, models!

So, when Dr. Egerstedt described state space systems with applications to robots, everything I had learned previously made sense!
