16-711   Kinematics, Dynamic Systems, and Controls

Kinematics, Dynamic Systems, and Control is a graduate level introduction to robotics. The course covers fundamental concepts and methods to analyze, model and control robotic mechanisms which move in the physical world and manipulate it. Main topics include the fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, and control applied to the kinematics, dynamics, and control of rigid body chains. Additional topics include state estimation and dynamic parameter identification.
