Introduction to robotics
lesson
We introduce the topic of robotics, the recent history, why we need robots and the future of robots.
lesson
We introduce the topic of robotics, the recent history, why we need robots and the future of robots.
lesson
We learn to compute a trajectory that involves simultaneous smooth motion of many robot joints.
lesson
We recap the important points from this lecture.
lesson
We discuss the structure of a right-handed 3D coordinate frame and the spatial relationship between its axes which is encoded in the right-hand rule.
lesson
Humans have long been fascinated with seeing images and movies in ā3Dā. Let’s look at how human stereo vision works and some of the technologies used to present images to our eyes in ā3Dā.
lesson
Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered in our discussion of optical flow and visual servoing.
lesson
The image Jacobian depends not only on the image plane coordinates but also the distance from the camera to the points of interest. If this distance is not known, what can we do? Let’s look at how we can determine this distance, and how the optical flow equation can be rearranged to convert from observed […]
lesson
We live in a three-dimensional world but it’s taken humans a long time to learn how to realistically depict the illusion of depth on a flat surface.
lesson
Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered about human depth perception, display of 3D images and estimating 3D scene structure using stereo and other types of sensors.
lesson
Let’s look at some recent research results that vividly show how information from many 2D images taken from many different locations can be combined to form a detailed 3D model of the world.
