Modelling and simulation of mechanical systems (Coursera)

Modelling and simulation of mechanical systems (Coursera)

The course provides the principles of modelling and simulation of modern mechatronic systems, which are mechanical systems integrated with several types of sensors and actuators. The aim of the course is to show different methodologies to improve the potential of mechanical systems by transforming them into mechatronic systems based on virtual models. In particular, the lessons will be focused on case studies in three engineering fields: robotics, controlled electro-hydraulic actuators and smart devices.

Control automático: La tecnología invisible (Coursera)

A lo largo de la historia, el ser humano se ha empeñado en construir dispositivos que le hagan más cómodo su día a día. Además, siempre ha estado interesado en que éstos lleven a cabo la tarea por sí mismos, sin necesidad de una supervisión continua. En nuestros días, muchos dispositivos llevan a cabo tareas como por arte de magia; pareciera que piensan o que adivinan nuestros deseos, que nunca se pueden equivocar o que su precisión y velocidad no puede ser superada. Los sistemas de control son una parte crucial de este funcionamiento.

Calculus through Data & Modelling: Series and Integration (Coursera)

This course continues your study of calculus by introducing the notions of series, sequences, and integration. These foundational tools allow us to develop the theory and applications of the second major tool of calculus: the integral. Rather than measure rates of change, the integral provides a means for measuring the accumulation of a quantity over some interval of input values. This notion of accumulation can be applied to different quantities, including money, populations, weight, area, volume, and air pollutants. The concepts in this course apply to many other disciplines outside of traditional mathematics.

Object Localization with TensorFlow (Coursera)

Welcome to this 2 hour long guided project on creating and training an Object Localization model with TensorFlow. In this guided project, we are going to use TensorFlow's Keras API to create a convolutional neural network which will be trained to classify as well as localize emojis in images. Localization, in this context, means the position of the emojis in the images. This means that the network will have one input and two outputs.
