What you'll learn

  • Enough about A* Search (A-star) and Path Planning to defend it in an interview
  • General robotics systems knowledge
  • Python and its usefulness in robotics

Requirements

  • No Python or programming experience required. I'll teach you everything you need to know.

Description

Ever Wondered How Google Maps Calculates the Route To Your Destination? Learn How To Design A Path Planning System of Your Own!

Knowing how to plan a path between your current location and your goal is an essential skill whether its for a self-driving car / autonomous vehicle, a roomba, or even an app like Uber, Waze, or Google Maps.

In this course you won't just learn concepts but will also have a chance to implement, test, and a see the results of your work in real time. For the final project of this course you will need to plan a path between any two locations in New York City. Like Frank Sinatra says, if you can plan a path there, you can plan one anywhere!

With this course, you can level up your knowledge, add an additional skill to your robotics arsenal, and do it all through a program that feels more like a game than it does a class.

This course will teach the A* search algorithm, which is a fundamental robotics algorithm. This algorithm is so fundamental it was even used on the very first mobile robot, Shakey the Robot.

What are you waiting for?

Enroll now and see what you can learn.

Who this course is for:

  • Current or future Roboticists looking to learn about a core part of the robotics software stack

I have a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering which I earned for my research in control system design for automotive applications. 

My first job out of school I was responsible for designing motion controllers and stabilization systems for military tank turrets.

I previously wrote robotic software for a startup based out of Toronto Canada.

I currently write software for autonomous vehicles in California.
