Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Introducing Robotics: Build a Robot Arm
Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
In this course, you designed, built and programmed a simple robot, with at least two joints, that could draw a line through a number of points on a sheet of paper. You either used a development kit or various robotic components. You designed and built the robot, wrote the software to control it, and then put it to the test. At the end of the course, you may have participated in a peer review process; submitting a video of your completed robot and reviewing a small number of other videos.
