Progression of Course Material
Reading
The official textbook is:
- [C] Craig. Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control.
One alternative is:
- [SHV] Spong, Hutchinson, Vidyasagar. Robot Modeling and Control.
There are a couple of books available online. The first is a bit more abstract, while the second is more suited to the course material,
- [LP] Lynch and Park. Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control; online.
- [Co] Corke. Robotics, Vision, and Control: Fundamental Algorithms in MATLAB; GT Library
The time line below will reference the books based on the abbreviation using the authors' initials. You need only really reference one of the books. the equivalent material for each book is provided in the Reading column, as applicable. The alignment with lecture is not 100% for any of them, but gets close. Also, as in the main wiki page, there are scanned lecture notes.
