Joint control
Types of robots: forms and functions
Geometry and vectors for robotics
A taste of 3D robotics
Forward and inverse kinematics
Position, pose, orientation, rotation and translation: describing where things are in the world.
Overview
This three-week course explores how robots can be programmed to move, with an understanding of how the movement works. You'll begin by exploring the capabilities of robots, understanding the mathematics behind it, and considering objects in a two-dimensional plane. After exploring this world, you'll continue by exploring the principles of kinematics and join control theory to develop your programming skills. You'll then move on to advanced techniques in 3D robotics. The course provider is the Queensland University of Technology and you'll finish with a taste of 3D robotics to understand the complexity of techniques in 3D.
