What will I learn?

This course provides a quick, hands-on guide to mastering planar mechanisms, revolute joints, workspace analysis, singularities, and the Gruebler/Kutzbach mobility criterion. You'll establish frames and link parameters, calculate forward kinematics for a 3R planar arm, construct and analyse Jacobians, and use these insights for optimal motor selection, joint limits, and reliable mechanism design.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Planar mechanism modelling: quickly classify chains, joints, and degrees of freedom.
  • Forward kinematics for 3R arms: accurately determine end-effector positions from joint angles.
  • Jacobian-based velocity analysis: convert joint velocities to Cartesian velocities for 3R mechanisms.
  • Singularity and workspace evaluation: identify boundaries and maximise reachable areas.
  • Actuation design optimisation: leverage kinematics for motor sizing and joint limit decisions.

What our students say

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of interest without needing to change platforms... I'm grateful for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.
