Robot manipulation refers to the ability of a robot to physically interact with objects in its environment using arms, hands, or other end-effectors. It is essential for applications in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, service robotics, and even household assistance. This class covers the basic knowledge of robot manipulation, including robot modeling, kinematics, contact mechanics, perception, simulation, planning and control, and the use of learning technologies for manipulation. The class will cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of manipulation. It will consist of lectures, homework assignments, and simulation-based programming assignments. Programming will be performed using the Python language.
