Are robotics courses these days not covering flight-related topics? It seems like they should, given the state of drone/uav technology.

  I wouldn't assume that an introductory course would. The concepts in an introductory course will lend a lot to flight vehicles, but flight adds a lot of complications and reduces survivability when failure happens. Learn to walk before you fly.

    Flying is one helluva lot easier than walking.

      *Learn to roll before you fly!

        Thanks. Sometimes I forget that people will abuse the intent of a comment to be technically correct.

  Udacity has a course that focuses on flight. I know several people who took this course and are very happy with it. https://www.udacity.com/course/flying-car-nanodegree--nd787 https://www.udacity.com/course/flying-car-nanodegree--nd787

  There is another Coursera class for aerial applications. Course 1 of the Penn State specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/robotics https://www.coursera.org/specializations/robotics

  To add to the pile, EdX also has a course from TUM: https://www.edx.org/course/autonomous-navigation-flying-robots-tumx-autonavx-0 https://www.edx.org/course/autonomous-navigation-flying-robo...
