            Office Hours: Tuesday & Thursday, 1:00-2:00 PM

Textbook: L. Sciavicco and B. Siciliano, Modeling and Control of Robot Manipulators,

Course notes are also used. Computer Usage: Programming with MATLAB and SIMULINK and a symbolic processor such as Mathcad or Mathematica.

 

Laboratory Project: A class design project is conducted individually for an industrial robot or AGV. This project requires about 10% of the student's time for the course. A written technical report and presentation are required of the analytical robot design.
