IoT and robotics foundations, electronics and circuit foundations, microcontrollers and embedded programming, sensors actuators and the physical world, a minor project building a live IoT monitoring system, connectivity protocols and the cloud, robotics fundamentals and motion, and a major project building a connected autonomous robot.
Requirements
- A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) with a reliable internet connection
- No electronics or coding background required, open to any engineering, science, or curious student
- An optional low cost starter kit with an ESP32, Arduino, sensors, and motors, or use free simulators instead
- Curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to build things by doing
About this course
Kickstart your journey into IoT and robotics with this beginner friendly program from Ucanly, open to any engineering, science, or curious student with no electronics or coding background required. This course takes you from your first blinking circuit to building a connected autonomous robot, with mentor guidance at every step. You will learn electronics fundamentals, embedded programming with Arduino and ESP32, working with sensors and actuators, and building the sense think act loop every robot depends on. In your minor project in week five, you will build a complete IoT monitoring system with multiple sensors, an ESP32, a live cloud dashboard, and mobile alerts. You will then learn MQTT and cloud connectivity, robotics fundamentals and motion control, and how to add a simple AI feature like voice or vision, before your major project in week eight: a full connected robot that senses its environment, moves autonomously, is controlled and monitored over the internet, and includes a simple AI powered feature. Everything in this course can be completed on real hardware or fully in free simulators, so no student is ever blocked by hardware access. India is building a serious hardware, electronics, and automation manufacturing base, and engineers who can genuinely make physical things sense, think, and connect are far rarer than pure software developers.
