MEE 444 - Robot Dynamics and Control

This course introduces the fundamentals of robotics. Topics include planar and spatial transformations and displacements, Euler angles, forward kinematics of robotic manipulators using the Denavit-Hartenberg method, inverse kinematics, velocity and acceleration of robotic manipulators, dynamics of robotic manipulators using Newton-Euler equations, and a review of robot control fundamentals.

MEE 444 and MEE 551 cannot both be taken for credit.

Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in MEE 270; and MEE 380

Course Typically Offered: Fall & Spring
