Robotics Kinematics and Dynamics
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
This wikibook is to become an online textbook on the kinematics and dynamics of robots. One of its purposes is to provide a more theoretical and in-depth look into the field of robotics mechanics. It's still very much in the making, though.
[edit] Table of Contents
- Description of Position and Orientation
- Serial Manipulator Position Kinematics
- Serial Manipulator Differential Kinematics
- Serial Manipulator Statics
- Serial Manipulator Dynamics
- Parallel Manipulator Kinematics
- Parallel Manipulator Dynamics
[edit] Software
The Robotics Toolbox is a public MATLAB library that can be downloaded for free from http://www.petercorke.com/Robotics Toolbox.html. It would be nice if some example code would eventually be added to the different examples this wikibook is to contain.
