Due to technical difficulties with the Course Catalogue, students should confirm course availability with Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) and Minerva. In cases where the Course Catalogue differs from these systems, VSB and Minerva should be considered the source of truth.

Kinematics and dynamics of parallel manipulators and wheeled mobile robots.
  • (3-0-6)
  • Prerequisite: MECH 309 or MATH 317, and MECH 572 or permission of the instructor.
  • Since the course is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and B- is the minimum passing mark for graduate students, this minimum mark will be relaxed for undergraduates. The regulations applicable to undergraduates will apply accordingly.

Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
