Introduction to Robotics

This course is a broad introduction to the subject area of robotics. It will cover:

• Kinematics and dynamics for mobile and articulated robots.
• Description models applicable for robot systems, such as Denavit-Hartenberg notation, homogeneous transforms etc
• Sensors, actuators and other robot hardware
• Algorithms for calculation of inverse kinematics, robot dynamics, trajectories and planning.
• Frameworks for task switching
• Mobile robotics
• Navigation, localization, and mapping
• Software architectures for robot systems and simulators
