ECE 10Fundamentals of Robot Kinematics and Dynamics
Covers the theory and application of mathematical models to analyze the kinematics and dynamics of robot mechanisms or their components using vector algebra, differential equations, and computer simulations; also covers robot vehicle kinematics, robot arm kinematics, and robot dynamics with computational examples and problems. Some basic programming skills and familiarity with MATLAB are expected. (Formerly CMPE 10.)
Prerequisite(s): ECE 9, and AM 20 or MATH 24.
