FROM ROBOTIC GRASPING THEORY TO SOFT MANIPULATION
This course will cover the fundamentals of kinematics and differential kinematics for robotic arms. Later on, classic force, impedance and admittance controllers will be introduced. Classic grasping theory will be proposed with the help of novel simulation tools. Finally, novel theory and technologies for soft manipulation will be introduced together with hands-on experiments on soft grippers.

USING THE WORLD TO THINK
This course will cover the fundamentals of kinematics and differential kinematics for robotic arms. Later on, classic force, impedance and admittance controllers will be introduced. Classic grasping theory will be proposed with the help of novel simulation tools. Finally, novel theory and technologies for soft manipulation will be introduced together with hands-on experiments on soft grippers.
Models - You will learn how to write the kinematic and the dynamic equations that describe a robotic grasp.
Research - You will be guided through the cutting-edge research challenges regarding robotic manipulation and grasping.
Control - You will learn how to control the fingers of a robotic hand, or a team of robots, to grasp, manipulate, and move objects.
Exercises - You will see the application of theoretical concepts to practical exercises with MATLAB® and robotic platforms.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
COURSE OUTLINE
Session 2
Direct and Inverse Kinematic
This session focuses on the derivation of the direct kinematics equation through a systematic, general approach based on linear algebra and on the derivation of solutions to the inverse kinematics problem, which consists of the determination of the joint variables corresponding to a given end-effector pose
Session 3
Differential kinematics
This session focuses on differential kinematics which gives the relationship between the joint velocities and the corresponding end-effector linear and angular velocity
Session 1
Introduction to soft manipulation
This session focuses on a recall on position and orientation representation for rigid objects and introduces soft grippers. Guidelines for the final project will be introduced.
Session 4
Trajectory planning
This session focuses on generating reference inputs to the motion control system which ensures that the manipulator executes the planned trajectories
