Model robot motion, plan trajectories, and apply feedback control with kinematics, dynamics, and Jacobians

What you'll learn

Construct forward-kinematics models using coordinate frames, homogeneous transformations, and Denavit–Hartenberg parameters.
Calculate feasible inverse-kinematics and Jacobian-based velocity solutions while identifying joint limits and singularities.
Analyze manipulator dynamics to estimate inertia, gravity, payload, friction, and actuator torque requirements.
Apply trajectory profiles and PID or model-based control concepts to evaluate robot tracking performance.

Requirements

No prior experience required; the course introduces core robotics notation and modeling conventions.
Comfort with high-school algebra and basic trigonometry is helpful.
Basic familiarity with vectors and introductory physics is beneficial but not essential.

Description

Robotics fundamentals provide the bridge between a robot's mechanical structure and purposeful, repeatable motion. This course builds a rigorous, practical foundation in kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning, and feedback control for manipulators and related robotic systems. You will learn how coordinate frames, joints, links, sensors, and actuators fit into a complete motion-generation workflow.
Beginning with rigid-body motion, you will represent position, orientation, and pose using rotation matrices and homogeneous transformations. You will build forward-kinematics models with Denavit–Hartenberg parameters, then address inverse kinematics, Jacobians, velocity relationships, singularities, and force-to-torque mapping. The course next introduces the manipulator equation of motion, including inertia, gravity, friction, payloads, and actuator constraints.
With these models in place, you will design joint-space and task-space trajectories, compare trapezoidal and jerk-limited profiles, and apply PID, feedforward, gravity compensation, and computed-torque control concepts. Practical scenarios such as pick-and-place, tool-frame calibration, reachability checks, and tracking-error diagnosis show how the topics connect in simulation and entry-level robot deployment. The learning path progresses from geometric modeling to physically feasible motion, controlled execution, safety boundaries, and systematic troubleshooting.
- Build and verify pose models for planar and spatial manipulators.
- Assess inverse-kinematics solutions, joint limits, and singular configurations.
- Estimate dynamic loads and actuator torque demands for robot motion.
- Plan smooth trajectories and diagnose feedback-control performance.
By the end, you will be able to interpret a robotics task as a structured engineering problem: define frames and constraints, select feasible motions, account for physical loads, and evaluate whether a controller can track the planned trajectory safely and reliably.
