Robotic Methodologies

This course introduces the core methodologies that underpin robotic systems, focusing on how robots perceive, reason, and act in the physical world. Learners will explore fundamental concepts such as sensing, control, knowledge representation, and manipulation. Participants will develop a structured understanding of the principles enabling intelligent robotic behavior. This course is part of the "Robotics & Robots" Specialization.

His contribution to defining the problems posed at the end of the various lessons was crucial" - Bruno Siciliano
