The goal of this course is to introduce robotics on a personalized, PhD-level way. The following main topics will be presented:

- Fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators I

- Fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators II

- Robotic vision and sensing I

- Robotic vision and sensing II

- Forward and inverse kinematics of serial chain manipulators I

- Forward and inverse kinematics of serial chain manipulators II

- Manipulator Jacobian, force relations, dynamics and control I

- Manipulator Jacobian, force relations, dynamics and control II

- Elementary principles of computer vision and robot motion planning I

- Elementary principles of computer vision and robot motion planning II
