Topic collection
Free university courses in robotics
Free university robotics courses provide structured learning through lecture notes, assignments, exercises or complete video series from recognised institutions. They are one of the highest-leverage ways to build foundations in kinematics, control, perception and planning without paying for a degree module.
Direct answer
What belongs in this collection?
Pick one course whose prerequisites match your current level and finish it before collecting more bookmarks. Complete its exercises where possible, then reinforce the lectures with simulator practice and a small open-source project that uses the same concepts. Keep notes on each exercise.
