Where to learn robotics online?

    I present to your attention a selection of online courses on robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence on the largest and most popular online learning platforms. Some of these courses can already be listened to in Russian, but most are still in English.

    Courses on the Udacity platform




    One of the very first online courses on robotics concerned the topic of “Artificial Intelligence” and was released on the Udacity platform. Now you can choose several courses on this topic. For example, one of them is Artificial Intelligence Enginner. An unusually paid course, which consists of two sections, costing $ 800 each, but you can win a grant and study for free. By the way, the feature of the Udacity platform is that students who have successfully completed online courses can even help with employment. True, I have not heard a single such example in Russia.

    Links to this and other courses on this platform:

    1. Online course Artificial Intelligence Engineer
    2. Online course Intro to Artificial Intelligence (free course)
    3. Online Machine Learning Engineer Nano degree (2 free sessions)
    4. Online course Artificial Intelligence in Robotics (free course)

    Courses on the Coursera platform


    Online course "We build robots and other devices on the Arduino. From traffic lights to a 3D printer "




    Opened in 2012, Coursera just conquered the market of mass online education and gave a new breath to this movement. And if earlier there it was possible to find courses only in English, then the last 2 years with enviable regularity Russian universities add their courses in robotics and other sciences.

    At the hearing, of course, the course “Building robots and other devices on the Arduino. From a traffic light to a 3D printer. ” This is how the creators describe the course: “Our course consists of a series of practical tasks about creating things that work themselves: they study the world, make decisions and act — move, exchange data with each other and with a person, control other devices. We will show how to assemble these devices and program them using the Arduino platform as a basis. ” At the same Coursera, these same speakers have a course with a similar name: "Building Arduino Robots and Devices". According to my feelings, the same thing that was in the course described above.

    By the way, do not miss the whole series of 6 courses “Robotics” and “Machine Learning”.

    This and other courses on the platform:

    1. The complex of 6 courses "Robotics"
    2. The complex of 6 courses: "Machine learning"
    3. Online course "We build robots and other devices on the Arduino. From traffic lights to a 3D printer »
    4. Online course "Control of Mobile Robots"
    5. Online course "Machine learning"
    6. Online course "Innovations in industry: mechatronics and robotics"

    Online course “My friend is a robot. Social and Cultural Aspects of Social Robotics




    But the course “My friend-robot. Socio-cultural aspects of social robotics. Immediately I recall Isaac Asimov’s novel “I am a Robot”, where the author includes specialists in his sociology of robots in some of his stories. Who knows, maybe this profession will become relevant in a couple of years. In the meantime, the creators of the course offer to philosophize and discuss the socio-cultural aspect of the emergence of robots in our life.

    Courses on the EdX platform



    On the EdX platform, probably, the largest database of courses in robotics is assembled. For example, you can take a course on robotics from Columbia University or courses from the famous MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). It is a pity that they are all only in English. But the courses themselves are free, and if you want to get a certificate - it is enough to pay. Actually, so many online platforms are monetized. However, the start of many courses is not yet known.

    Online courses on robotics and artificial intelligence on the EdX platform:

    1. The complex of 4 courses (each of which costs $ 300) "Artificial Intelligence"
    2. Online course "Robotics"
    3. Online course "Artificial Intelligence"
    4. Online course "Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science"
    5. Online course "Biological Engineering: Cellular Design Principles"
    6. Online course "Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics- Part A"
    7. Online course "Underactuated Robotics"
    8. Online course "The Fascinating World of Robots and Robotics"
    9. Online Course "Introduction to Control System Desing- A First Look"
    10. Online course "Robot Mechanics and Control, Part I"
    11. Online course "Robot Mechanics and Control, Part II"
    12. Online course "Autonomous Navigation for Flying Robots"
    13. Online course "Introduction to Engineering"
    14. Online Course "Electronic Interfaces: Bridging Physical and Digital World"
    15. Online course "Autonomous Mobile Robots"

    Courses on the platform of the Universarium




    Domestic platform with a selection of quite interesting courses in general, and in robotics in particular. Only here so far none of the courses has opened the registration for a new set. I was particularly interested in a rather rare course on underwater robotics.

    Online course "Introduction to the underwater robotics"
    Online course "Robots in life"
    Online course "Basics of programming robots"

    Additionally:

    Online course "Innovative technologies in mechanical engineering"
    Online course "Introduction to electrophysiology and electromyography"

    Courses on the platform Lectorium




    On Lektorium of pure robotics only Sergey Filippov’s course on lego, but about them in the next compilation. But just for engineering I liked the course “Engineering of the Future”. It tells about startups, ideas, and engineering. Everything is very well shot and cropped. The only drawback is that after viewing the first chapter, registration followed for some reason. I even recommended this course to the guys who study with me in the circle on children's robotics. At least the first chapter for sure).

    Online courses on Lectorium about engineering in general:

    1. Online course "Engineering Future"
    2. Online course "Engineering"

    Courses on the platform Open Education




    There are several courses on the platform that are directly or indirectly related to robotics. One of them is “Management of mechatronic and robotic systems”. At the same time for the execution of some tasks apparently need a Lego. Like this. By the way, on the site of the university ITMO there are 8 online courses on robotics, but all with expired dates. So soon sign up here.

    This and other courses:

    Online course "Management of mechatronic and robotic systems"
    Online course "Engineering Mechanics"
    Online course "Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Electronics"
    Online course "Philosophy and History of Science and Technology"
    Online course "Models and Methods of Analytical mechanics "

    Who knows, or took online courses on robotics - write to me in the comments, add to the piggy bank.

    Next time I will prepare a list of courses already for teachers in robotics, for example, with Lego (for example, courses from Sergey Filippov on Lectorium).
