Introduction to Robotics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Rigid body motion, forward and inverse kinematics, manipulator Jacobians, force relation, dynamics and position control robot manipulators, force control and trajectory generation, collision avoidance and motion planning, robot programming languages. On successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1.Describe common applications of robotic systems across different engineering domains. 2.Explain the fundamental principles of kinematics and dynamics as applied to robotic arms. 3.Formulate and analyze the kinematic and dynamic equations for various types of robotic arms. 4.Apply basic methods to assess, select, and integrate robotic arms into engineering systems based on their kinematic and dynamic characteristics.
