Description
Are you interested in robotics and don’t know where to start? The best way to get started with robotics is to learn the necessary basic concepts in the correct order, as each subsequent concept is related to the previous one. This course has been designed to provide theory without going into unnecessary detail. Compared to books, this course also provides coding and simulation to supplement theoretical knowledge with practical.In this course you will learn:methods of direct kinematicsmethods of inverse kinematicsrepresentation of position in roboticsrotation matrix and homogeneous transformation matriximplement mathematical model in Matlabcreate a simple Simulink modelverify theoretical formulas in MatlabAll these methods will be explained in this course and will be shown on the example of a simple robotic arm.Almost every manufacturer has its own software, but the basis is still the same: Mathematical description is the key to bring the robot to life. Direct and inverse kinematics are the key approaches in every robotic device.In this course, we will implement the mathematical model in the Matlab/Simulink environment. All materials will then be uploaded to the course page.For this course you need to master the basics of mathematics.
