Course Objectives: The course is intended to provide learning on the basic concepts of robotics
by exposing students to a broad range of topics with emphasis on basics of manipulators, coordinate
transformation and kinematics, trajectory planning, control techniques, sensors and devices, robot
applications and economics analysis.

Prerequisites: Mathematics- Differential equations & Matrix Algebra

Course Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
 Use matrix algebra and Lie algebra for computing the kinematics of robots.
 Calculate the forward kinematics and inverse kinematics of serial and parallel robots.
 Calculate the Jacobian for serial and parallel robot.
 To do the path planning for a robotic system.
 To use software tools for analysis and design of robotic systems.

Pedagogy for Course Delivery:
 The course pedagogy will include four quadrant approach i.e. e-content, audio-visual
aids, lectures, open source reference material, discussion, explanation of concepts and
applications of the topics covered.
 In addition to numerical applications, the real-life problems and situations will be assigned to
the students and they are encouraged to get a feasible solution that could deliver meaningful
and acceptable solutions by the end users.
 Assessment will be done through assignments, quiz and viva-voce on topics covered after
completion of modules
