Frequently Asked Questions about Robotics Engineer

Start by deciding whether you're entering the field, upskilling in a specific area (like perception, control, or automation), or applying robotics in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, or AI.

  • For essentials, try the Robotics Engineering & Applications from L&T EduTech—covering programming, vision systems, and design.
  • Interested in AI and autonomous systems? Explore Self-Driving Cars Specialization by the University of Toronto.
  • Want a quick intro to robotics in industry? Consider Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control Specialization by Northwestern University.‎

These beginner-friendly courses are great for learners with limited robotics experience (though some math or programming familiarity helps):

  • Introduction to Robotics on AWS; introduces industry trends in robotics.
  • How to Get Into Robotics – Offers a blend of engineering, electronics, and computer science.‎
  • A course teaches a focused skill or concept—such as robot kinematics, sensing, or embedded systems, like Modern Robotics, Course 1: Foundations of Robot Motion.
  • A Specialization includes multiple courses that build toward mastery—like Introduction to Robotics with Webots Specialization, which includes hands-on projects and simulations.
  • A Professional Certificate is currently less common specifically for robotics, but programs in AI, Python, or embedded systems are often relevant to robotics engineering careers.‎
