(PROGRAMMING OTTO DIY ROBOT USING MATH, PHYSICS AND THE C++ LANGUAGE)
Robot Kinematics demystified (Programming Otto DIY Robot using Math, Physics and The C++ Language) is a book that will help readers better understand the Kinematics of a Robot by using Otto, a biped robot, to Illustrate the techniques used in finding the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters used in Robotics to define the Geometric Anatomy of a robot's joints and links.
The methods provided were discovered by the author. They will not be found on any online resources, websites, or textbook, which makes this book an invaluable asset In mastering forward and Inverse kinematics as an Industry Professional.
Get started with the exciting world of robotics using Arduino! In this beginner-friendly video, we’ll walk you through the basics of robotics, how Arduino works, and how you can build your first robot project. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and creativity!
The robot at the heart of this program is Otto, an open-source bipedal robot originally designed by Camilo Parra Palacio. Otto may look small, but he packs a big punch in terms of learning potential. His expressive movement, programmability, and community-driven design make him an ideal teaching platform for advanced robotics.
Students don’t just watch Otto move—they write the code that tells him how to move, learning valuable engineering and math skills in the process.
Must have some exposure to The Denavit-Hartenberg convention that defines four parameters for attaching reference frames to the links of a spatial kinematic chain, or robot manipulator
