Cutting Edge Tech Classes

Robotics Technologies for Unmanned Systems

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida
Cost: $3,600
Enrollment: 20 students per class
You can't pilot an aircraft from the ground without understanding the robotics that make it fly. In this course, students learn the basics of range-finding and position-determination systems, optical sensors, guidance control and safety mechanisms. By the end of the course, students create a "microprocessor-based robotics project" of their own.
