RE 302 - Mechanics of Robotic Systems

3 Credit(s)

Theory and application of mathematical models to analyze, design, and control serial kinematic chains (serial manipulators). Covers kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory considerations for multi-DOF robots. Topics include spatial transformations, representing orientation (Euler angles), velocity and acceleration calculations with forward and inverse kinematics, the manipulator Jacobian, trajectory planning, and dynamics include Lagrangian and Newton-Euler methods and recursive formulations thereof.
