Out and About with Robots

lesson

In this mini-documentary we look at a diverse range of real-world robots, discuss what they do and how they do it.

Robots today

lesson

Robots today are ubiquitous in manufacturing but they can do much, much more.

Why Not Use GPS?

lesson

Why do robots need a sense of vision in this modern age when GPS satellites can tell a robot where it is? Let’s talk about GPS, how it works and its strengths and weaknesses such as multipath and urban canyon effects.

Robots in history

lesson

Humans have long been fascinated by machines that mimic people and animals. These and several other technologies are the precursors of modern robots.

Advanced Joint Control Strategies

lesson

A number of strategies exist to reduce the effect of these coupling torques between the joints, from introducing a gearbox between the motor and the joint, to advanced feedforward strategies.

Mapping 3D Spatial Velocity Between Coordinate Frames

lesson

We previously learnt how to derive a Jacobian which relates the velocity of a point, defined relative to one coordinate frame, to the velocity relative to a different coordinate frame. Now we extend that to the 3D case.

Denavit-Hartenberg notation

lesson

We learn a method for succinctly describing the structure of a serial-link manipulator in terms of its Denavit-Hartenberg parameters, a widely used notation in robotics.
