CS223A - Introduction to Robotics

CS223A: Introduction to Robotics (Stanford Univ.). Instructor: Professor Oussama Khatib. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to basics of modeling, design, planning, and control of robot systems. In essence, the material treated in this course is a brief survey of relevant results from geometry, kinematics, statics, dynamics, and control. Topics: robotics foundations in kinematics, dynamics, control, motion planning, trajectory generation, programming and design. (from see.stanford.edu)
