Most resources for the six-course Coursera Modern Robotics Specialization are hosted on Coursera, but some are more conveniently collected on this wiki.

General (All Courses)

Things you should complete before taking any of the courses

General references

Prerequisite refresher readings

Programming

The MR code library is written in Python, MATLAB, and Mathematica. Since you will be building on this code, it is highly recommended that you program in one of these languages. If you choose another language, you will have to port the MR library yourself.

Course 1: Foundations of Robot Motion

Course 4: Robot Motion Planning and Control

Course 5: Robot Manipulation and Wheeled Mobile Robots

Course 6: Capstone Project, Mobile Manipulation
