Dynamics and Control of Robots

Description
The course of robot dynamics presents the basics of manipulators, hardware description and system mechanics, index performance, kinematics aspects, trajectory planning, and position control.  The course also considers the importance of robots in global industries and presents terminology from the robotic field and basic definitions. The course focuses on installing robots in the current industry through terminology and definitions by understanding general requirements and mathematical control models.
