Course content
The aim of this course is to learn fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, and control for a multi-body system on a movable base, such as space robot. In this course, the kinematic and dynamic difference between ground based robot and multi-body system on a movable base are explained. Through the exercises in the course, methodology and skill to develop dynamic simulation based on theoretical background are learned.
