- Goal:
- This class presents
the geometric analysis of articulated mechanical systems.
The emphasis is on developing the kinematics equations for serial
open chains, solving the inverse kinematics problem to
determine the joint parameters to achieve a desired
position, and understanding the use of the Jacobian of
the system for rate control, static analysis and to
determine singular configurations. This mathematical
theory lies at the foundation for the analysis, design,
and control of robotic systems.
