Course Description	This course provides an in depth study of the fundamentals of modern robotics. The material covers both standard robotic manipulators and modern mobile robots. Material covered includes study of the kinematics and dynamics robotic manipulators and mobile robots, spatial orientation representations, Denavit-Hartenberg link descriptions, forward and inverse kinematics, Jacobian rate and static force relations, singularities, recursive Newton-Euler and Lagrange dynamics algorithms as well as trajectory planning for classical manipulators. Additional material on filtering and design of mobile robotic platforms is covered with an emphasis on integration of the sensing and control systems with the mechanical design.
Indicative Assessment	Assignments (30%); Laboratories (20%); Reading Report & Seminar (50%)
Course Classification(s)	AdvancedAdvanced courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide a deep understanding of contemporary issues; or 'second degree' and higher levels of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs.
Areas of Interest	Engineering
Requisite Statement	Admission to the ME degree and permission of the course coordinator.
