MECH 573. Mechanics of Robotic Systems.
Credits: 3
Offered by: Mechanical Engineering (Faculty of Engineering)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.
Description
Manipulator performance and design. Pick-and-place and continuous-path operations. Computation of rigid-body angular velocity and acceleration from point-data measurements. Inverse kinematics of serial manipulators with coupled architectures; kinetostatics of multifingered hands and walking machines. 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.
