ME 345 - Introduction to Robotics, Spring 2000
This introductory course offers a rigorous foundation in robotics, with an emphasis on robot kinematics and dynamics, and the basics of robot movement planning and control. The emphasis will be on learning fundamental concepts and principles that underly robotics, and are grounded in mechanics and mathematics; the intent is to help students develop both a reliable intuition and a set of analytical tools for the modeling, planning, and control of robots. The course should also prepare students for advanced study not only in robotics, but also multibody dynamics, computer-aided design, computer graphics and animation, computer vision, and any subject in which the study of motions plays a fundamental role.
As a teaching asistants, I taught 1-hour weekly discussion section for 12 students. My tasks includes:
- review the lecture material
- solve practice problems
- give the students an opportunity to ask questions
