Semester: Winter 2025
Instructor: Prof. Sujay Kadam
This hands-on introductory course covers the mathematical and simulation foundations of robotics. Emphasis is placed on:
Robot kinematics (forward and inverse)
Homogeneous transformations and DH parameters
Sensors, actuators, and coordinate frames
Jacobians, manipulability, and trajectory planning
Basic robot dynamics and force analysis
Robot control fundamentals
Tools: MATLAB, Simulink, Python, with labs and projects involving real or simulated manipulators.
