| Summary | This course represents the extension and continuation of the Industrial Robotics course offered to student in Semester 1. Following the introduction of the fundamental concepts in Forward and Inverse Kinematics in the introductory Industrial Robotics class, this course aims to bring the student to an advanced knowledge in manipulator dynamics and control. This course will delve into the dynamics of open-chain manipulators commonly encountered in the industrial environment, addressing much needed technical knowledge in control and dexterous manipulation.
