Kinematic Chain Course
This course equips you with mastery over kinematic chains in planar mechanisms. Delve into forward kinematics for 3R arms, Jacobian matrices, degrees of freedom evaluation, singularity detection, and workspace optimisation. These skills enable superior engineering choices regarding link dimensions, joint constraints, and motor specifications, fostering robust mechanism design and practical implementation in real-world applications.

What will I learn?
The Kinematic Chain Course offers a swift, hands-on route to mastering planar mechanisms, revolute joints, workspace analysis, singularities, and the Grübler-Kutzbach mobility criterion. Participants will establish coordinate frames and link parameters, compute forward kinematics for a 3R planar arm, construct and analyse Jacobians, and leverage these insights for enhanced motor selection, joint limit settings, and resilient mechanism design.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...

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