ME 650 Robot Manipulators
This course will build on the background obtained in the Intro to Robotics (ME 598) course. The course is intended to cover graduate-level advanced topics in robotics including mathematical tools for robot optimization and design, performance indices for robot manipulators, models for robot control, modeling and control of serial robots with kinematic redundancies, sampling-based motion planning of serial robots, modeling and control of parallel robots, actuation redundancies in parallel robots, and calibration of serial robots.
