Stanford Offering Free Online Robotics, AI Courses

Stanford University has launched a series of 10 free, online computer science and electrical engineering courses. These include topics in Artificial Intelligence and “Introduction to Robotics“, taught by distinguished robotics professor Oussama Khatib.

Editor of MIT Press’ The Robotics Review, President of the International Foundation of Robotics Research, Dr. Khatib’s recent research been focused on “human centered / human friendly robotics,” haptic interactions (including “lazy” robotic movement studies).

Each course comprises downloadable video lectures, handouts, assignments, exams, and transcripts. A complete online course catalog is available here.

And just to see what you’d be getting into, here’s the first video lecture from “Introduction to Robotics”

    It’s pretty cool that Stanford made those courses available for free!

    May I suggest to take a look at my Free Science Online blog?

    I have been blogging about free video lectures on the net for more than 2 years now! I have collected video lectures in physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, biology, chemistry and many other fields.

    Sincerely,
