Course Objective

Robot manipulators are today's principal dynamical systems, used in a large number of applications ranging from machine-tool industry to flight simulators. This course is devoted to present both fundamental and advanced topics on the kinematics, statics and dynamics of robot manipulators. Both serial and parallel manipulators are covered in depth. The course emphasizes computational aspects of robot analysis.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Solving position problems of serial and parallel manipulators.
2   Distinguishing Jacobians of manipulators.
3   Solving velocity problems of serial and parallel manipulators.
4   Analysing singularity conditions of serial and parallel manipulators.
5   Analysing statics and stiffness properties of serial and parallel manipulators.
6   Analysing dynamic properties of serial and parallel manipulators.
