At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Model the kinematics of typical serial manipulators,
- Model the kinematic, static and quasi-static interactions between a manipulator and an object
- Characterize the challenges in motion planning of manipulators as well as compare and evaluate methods to tackle them.
- Develop a robotic manipulation model in simulation
- Use motion planning algorithms to plan manipulation tasks
- Analyze and evaluate the performance of a manipulation interaction quantitatively
