The objective of this course is for the student to learn the fundamental mathematical techniques to analyze and design multi-jointed robotic systems. These techniques correspond to the robot geometry i.e., the position, velocity relationships between the robot actuators and the intended robot motion (kinematics & velocity kinematics); dynamical models of robots including actuator to task torque/force transfer (robot dynamics) as well as control of robot actuators to result in desired motion (robot control). These techniques apply to classical robot manipulators as well as mobile robots such as wheeled or legged robots. Time permitting, we will also touch upon robot path planning and trajectory generation as well as more advanced robot control approaches.  Hopefully, you will be at a point to use this knowledge to advance your research goals or to find more competitive engineering solutions in your work.
