Modern Robotics, Course 6: Capstone Project, Mobile Manipulation

The final Modern Robotics course asks learners to integrate earlier material in a mobile pick-and-place project. A wheeled base and arm must be controlled together. It is an application and debugging exercise for the sequence, with a more substantial starting requirement than an introductory robotics class.

What you will learn

• Integrate mobile-base and arm motion.
• Generate a reference manipulation trajectory.
• Evaluate feedback control in a simulated task.

Who this suits

Learners who have completed the earlier Modern Robotics courses or can already use their modeling, planning and control techniques.

Before you enroll

The mathematical and programming demands vary sharply across robotics courses. Preview the exercises and software setup before enrolling. Use simulations for independent practice; course completion alone does not prepare someone to operate an industrial robot safely.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Keep a simulation log for the pick-and-place task, recording tracking error and the effect of one controller change at a time.
