Reviews summary

Undergrad intro to robotics kinematics

Introducing Robotics: Making Robots Move is a course designed to teach students the basics of robotics kinematics. It is taught by Peter Corke and is a beginner-level course, so it may be most useful for undergraduates. One student described the types of topics covered as "very basic," so students at a more advanced level may find this course to be too easy.

The Robotics Toolbox developed by Peter Corke (the designer of the course) is the peak point of the course.
