Intro To Robotic Syst

Catalog description

P: ECE or ME 33300, and MA 35100 and 36300. The topics to be covered include: basic components of robotic systems; selection of coordinate frames; homogeneous transformations; solutions to kinematic equations; velocity and force/torque relations; manipulator dynamics in Lagrange's formulation; digital simulation of manipulator motion; motion planning; obstacle avoidance; controller design using the computed torque method; and classical controllers for manipulators. Basic knowledge of vector-matrix manipulations required.
