Kinematics and Dynamics

This page contains links to Nick's notes on multi-link kinematics and dynamics. These notes begin with 2D systems and then continue with 3D systems.

Lesson 1 - Degrees of Freedom, Complex Vector Notation

Lesson 2 - Vector Loop Equations, Newton-Raphson Solver

Lesson 3 - Inverse Kinematics, Lagrange Multipliers

Lesson 4 - Calculating Velocity and Acceleration

Lesson 5 - Inverse Dynamics

Lesson 6 - Inverse Dynamics for Redundant Systems

Lesson 7 - 3D Basics, Matrix Exponentials

Lesson 8 - 3D Rigid Body Motion, Coordinate Transformations

Lesson 9 - 3D Rigid Body Velocity

Lesson 10 - 3D Rigid Body Manipulator Forward Kinematics
