Robotics: Perception
by Kostas Daniilidis , Jianbo Shi- 4.4
Approx. 33 hours to complete
How can robots perceive the world and their own movements so that they accomplish navigation and manipulation tasks? In this module, we will study how images and videos acquired by cameras mounted on robots are transformed into representations like features and optical flow. Geometry of Image Formation Introduction Camera Modeling Single View Geometry...
Robotics: Computational Motion Planning
by CJ Taylor- 4.3
Approx. 11 hours to complete
Robotic systems typically include three components: a mechanism which is capable of exerting forces and torques on the environment, a perception system for sensing the world and a decision and control system which modulates the robot's behavior to achieve the desired ends. Throughout the course, we will discuss the aspects of the problem that make planning challenging....
Fundamentals of waves and vibrations
by Emmanuel de Langre , Olivier Doaré , Jean François Semblat- 4.5
Approx. 6 hours to complete
See our course teaser on http://goo. gl/SU25sF Waves are everywhere. On water of course, but also in the air as you hear a plane, and under your feet during an earthquake certainly. Vibrations, too, are everywhere In your bike as you go over a bump, in you guitar as you play, and of course in your smartphone....
Ideal Gases
by John W. Daily- 4.5
Approx. 6 hours to complete
Course 3 of Statistical Thermodynamics, Ideal Gases, explores the behavior of systems when intermolecular forces are not important. This done by evaluating the appropriate partition functions for translational, rotational, vibrational and/or electronic motion. We start with pure ideal gases including monatomic, diatomic and polyatomic species. Computational methods for calculating equilibrium properties are introduced....
Particle Dynamics
by Sukyung Park- 0.0
Approx. 15 hours to complete
This course teaches dynamics, one of the basic mechanics subjects of Mechanical Engineering. Students would be able to organize their knowledge about force and motion, work-energy, impulse-momentum in view of Newton's 2nd law and its integration over time and displacement. The Engineering Dynamics consists of two parts: particle dynamics and rigid body dynamics....
Statistical Thermodynamics: Molecules to Machines
by Venkat Viswanathan- 3.9
Approx. 10 hours to complete
Modern engineering research focuses on designing new materials and processes at the molecular level. Statistical thermodynamics provides the formalism for understanding how molecular interactions lead to the observed collective behavior at the macroscale. This course will develop a molecular-level understanding of key thermodynamic quantities like heat, work, free energy and entropy....
Dense Gases, Liquids and Solids
by John W. Daily- 4.5
Approx. 5 hours to complete
Course 4 of Statistical Thermodynamics addresses dense gases, liquids, and solids. As the density of a gas is increased, intermolecular forces begin to affect behavior. For small departures from ideal gas behavior, known as the dense gas limit, one can estimate the change in properties using the concept of a configuration integral, a modification to the partition function....
Non-Equilibrium Applications of Statistical Thermodynamics
by John W. Daily- 4.4
Approx. 8 hours to complete
Course 5 of Statistical Thermodynamics explores three different applications of non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics. The first is the transport behavior of ideal gases, with some discussion of transport in dense gases and liquids. It starts with simple estimates of the transport properties of an ideas gas. It closes with a discussion of practical sources of transport properties....
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
by Konstantin Maksyutin , Liubov Vorobyeva- 4.7
Approx. 27 hours to complete
In this course, you will learn such concepts as oil and gas production, reservoir energy and forces, petroleum deposit drainage, development systems, well operation techniques and much more. Each participant in the course will develop an understanding of field life cycle and interdisciplinary approach to petroleum field development and operation. Throughout the course, we will address the following topical areas:...
