Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Introducing Robotics: Making Robots Move
Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
In this course, you described where things are in the world. You considered the case of objects in a 2-dimensional plane. You learnt the concepts of position, pose, rotation and translation. You saw different types of robots and learnt how to set their task and configuration. You learnt the principles of kinematics and programmed forward kinematics equations in MATLAB. You explored control theory and began to model dynamic systems including the electric motors and gearboxes that go into a robot.
