Course Details
Foundational Robotics
Foundational Robotics is a full textbook that focuses on the fundamental knowledge of robotics and its application in manufacturing. Designed for higher-level undergraduate study on robotics, it provides an overview of basic topics of robotics: Kinematics, Mobile Robots, Trajectory Generation, Path Planning and Control, and Human Robot-Collaborative Manufacturing. The textbook contains 42 animations and simulations, 9 videos on CoppeliaSim programming related to robotics, multiple CopelliaSim exercises that students can download, and interactive practice questions for each chapter to support student learning. In addition to accessing the work through EducateWorkforce, students and instructors can receive a free professional-quality PDF version of the textbook published by Clemson University Press or purchase a hard copy of the work at a low price.About This Course
