CMPUT 312 - Introduction to Robotics and Mechatronics

Overview

Robots perform physical tasks in the real world. To write algorithms for accurate movement we need to understand and mathematically model the geometry and movement of the robot. For the movement to have a purpose we need to sense and interpret the physical environment around the robot.

Objectives
