Robotics Courses

Robotics courses can help you learn programming for robot control, sensor integration, and mechanical design principles. You can build skills in automation, system troubleshooting, and algorithm development for tasks like navigation and object recognition. Many courses introduce tools such as ROS (Robot Operating System), CAD software for design, and simulation platforms that allow you to test your robotic systems in virtual environments.
