Kinematic Chain Course
This course equips you with essential skills in kinematic chains for planar mechanisms. Delve into forward kinematics for 3R arms, Jacobian computations, degrees of freedom evaluation using Gruebler/Kutzbach criterion, singularity analysis, and workspace optimisation. Gain practical expertise to enhance mechanism design, including optimal link lengths, joint constraints, and motor choices for robust engineering solutions.

What Will I Learn?
Gain rapid mastery of planar mechanisms, revolute joints, workspace analysis, singularities, and Gruebler/Kutzbach mobility criterion. Learn to establish frames and link parameters, compute forward kinematics for 3R planar arms, construct Jacobians, and leverage these for superior motor selection, joint limits, and resilient mechanism design.

Your classes are perfect. I got 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.
