Introduction
Graduate-level introduction to the mechanics of robotic systems with emphasis on the mathematical tools for kinematics and dynamics of robotic systems. Topics include the geometry and mathematical representation of rigid body motion, manipulator kinematics including forward and inverse kinematics of articulated robot arms, differential kinematics, manipulator dynamics and control. Additional special topics such as trajectory generation, actuation, and design issues will be considered as time permits.
