The course is very good and is designed such that even beginners can get a good grasp on the content that is made available. The discussion forums are great and help in making life easier.

Good segue from a hardware modeling to a control design. I learned a control theory in university, but had no idea about how to implement to actual device. This course describes it.

Good contents! However, the lectures are long and a bit rushed. This course is definitely not for everyone! Assignment for week 3 definitely need an extra lecture to explain to do PID tuning.

A great course for anyone starting out to study robotics. Modelling, transformation, control, etc. are nicely introduced without resorting to mathematical rigour, as it should be in an MOOC.

The final coding assignment is hard and time consuming. Need more experience and knowledge before taking this course. However, I got through and learned quite a lot from this course.

3 D control equations should could be explained better. The video order of the supplementary material for 3 D control should be before discussing the the 3 D control equations.

The course is built quite well. However, the math is gone over a bit fast. Maybe it would have been better if a person taking the course has a decent understanding of controls.

Course material is very dense and requires some background in maths/physics to understand it well. Could be better if it is extended to 5 - 6 weeks having more assignments.

A student having knowledge Non- linear control systems and Multi-variable control systems world do far better in this course. Quizzes can be more related to the subject

Very well prepared, clear lectures and doable assignments which are the same time challenging.
The only minus is that it is too hard, if possible, to contact the TAs.

This is a very nice class about the aerial robotics. If the more background materials about the quadrotor are provied in the class content, the class will be better.

Overall good, but the trajectory generation coding could've been better explained with examples for determining coefficients for paths with multiple segments.

Very interesting course. Lectures were very informative however
some test questions, especially in first quiz, where not covered directly
in course materials.

I think the derivation of formulas should be explained more broadly, and it needs more practices for MATLAB because assignments are harder for beginners.

A good overview on various fields of Robotics, especially control. Quizzes seemed a little ambiguous but lectures and assignments were very informative!

TAs should have been more available/active in discussions (especially given the scale of the last assignment), otherwise enjoyable/challenging course

Overall the information provided in the class was very valuable and up to date in describing the kinematics and dynamical control for a Quadrotor.

Would have appreciated if the coding part was also taught in more details, as well as some nonlinear controller was given in coding assignments.

Excellent course.. would have been more better if we had more Assignments (hands on) for Non-Linear control, Control of Multiple Robots (swarms)

Very interesting! I really recommend. I don't agree with people who says it's only PD tunning. It entails comprehensions of physics and control.

A little mode like a demo video to integrate all the systems and make the video could help as a supplementary material to work on their own.

The only thing missing I think is a good reference textbook to really understand the derivation of the formulas shown through the course.

Good course! Would be better if it can provide more detailed explanation about the learning materials and give more interactive practice.

this course needs more insight into how programming of robots like drones.Otherwise best course for leaning concepts of aerial robotics.

Es un poco pesado el curso. Es mucha información (muy compleja) para un solo curso.
Por demás es excelente, exigente y muy enriquecedor.

I think there some some terms needed to be explained more. But overall this is good. I enjoyed it and Learn to do simulation on Matlab.

Pretty decent introduction to robotics. I had some issues with the matlab code and files but was eventually able to do the assignments.
