Overview

The Robotics & Robots Specialization is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of modern robotics, from foundational principles and technologies to real-world applications. Led by over 30 internationally renowned experts, the program offers a structured learning path across the four core pillars of robotics: Knowledge, Design, Interaction, and Impact. You will learn how robots perceive, reason, and interact with the world across real-world applications—from industrial automation to medical, aerial, and underwater robotics—while gaining hands-on insight into key technologies such as AI, machine learning, and human–robot interaction. You will also delve into the ethical, legal and sociological implications of the growing presence of robots in our society, in order to contribute responsibly to the development of robotics. Upon completion of the Specialization, learners will have acquired the practical and interdisciplinary skills needed to advance their careers in robotics
