About the Course
Top reviews
The course is very good.\n\nThe classes are well taught and show general concepts. It is necessary to do research on the internet, to solve the assignments. This is not a bad thing in my point of view
I think this is very good course of aerial robotics research. Being a student of robotics, I feel that some of stuffs in this course needs a good background in control and mechanical engineering.

•Poor structure, pointlessly difficult tests, (you will have to type 100s of 5 digit numbers by hand into matlab, try to randomly guess some coefficients) and most importantly, the course is about automation in general. No specialization at all, this is something that is taught at the first or second year of any technical university.
Moreover, passing the assignments does not teach you anything about drones or robotics, just trying to reverse engineer how the grading code works. I passed the last one with 79/80, but my code was not actually flying the virtual drone

•The quiz and assignment are poorly designed. Important issues are overlooked or just briefly discussed in lecture. The assignment focuses on matlab coding, which only emphasizes the coding technique. Do not recommend to audience with

•Definitely not for beginners. I had to study Linear algebra, 3D mechanics first to understand this. Quiz questions are okay but programming assignments are too tough for people who are using matlab for first time.

•The videos doesn't tell anything related to the test. How can I know the answers? Am I going to search them on the internet? Then what the meaning to learn this course?

•Homeworks do not fully represent what's covered in class, and the lecturer fails to go into nearly as much depth as required to cover the actual subject matter.
By David C
•Very poor. Assignments consist of transcription of formulae given in lectures, and then manually searching the parameter space for solutions.
By Uddhav S
•Very bad course from basics coverage. New concepts are introduced haphazardly without giving context and very bad teaching method.

•Advertised as an easy course, week 1 is simple but quickly becomes far too difficult by week 2... Too late for your refund.
By Francesco B
•since there is a lot of math involved, there should be some carefully written readings. (not only slides or phd thesis)
By Aldo C F
•No help, and explanation about final code. You have to research everything about yourself trying to understand it
By Anurag N
•The last assignment was very tough. Overall I enjoyed the course.
By Steven A
•Course is very incomplete.
