MEE 551 - Robot Dynamics and Control

Introduction to planar and spatial rotations and homogeneous transformations. Introduction to forward kinematics of serial-link robotic manipulator and Denavit-Hartenberg frames and parameters. Introduction of dynamics of robotic manipulator through calculating velocity and acceleration of the links. Introduction to position feedback control using servo motors and gears to track a desired trajectory by a robotic manipulator. This course will include hands-on experience through the lab projects, and it will teach students how to use computer programming to model robots.

Students who have completed MEE 444 with a passing grade are not eligible to take MEE 544 or vice versa.
