Reviews
4.9out of 5 (33 verified reviews)
Every week ended with a robot doing something new. The instructor read my launch files and told me exactly why my costmap was drifting.
The live sessions were small enough to ask real questions. The capstone was demanding but fair, and the rubric made it clear what was expected.
FAQ
Every session is recorded and appears in the course within 24 hours. Attendance counts toward the certificate, so try to join at least 75 percent of sessions live.
