Modern Robotics, All Videos - Modern Robotics, Chapter 7: Kinematics of Closed Chains

This is a video supplement to the book "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control," by Kevin Lynch and Frank Park, Cambridge University Press 2017. See http://modernrobotics.org for information on the book, free software, and other materials. This video, based on Chapter 7, takes an example-based approach to the kinematics of closed chains, particularly parallel robots, including forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, inverse velocity kinematics, and statics. This video is a very brief summary of material from the book, and it is not meant to stand alone. For more details, such as an explanation of the notation, please consult the book and the other videos. (In particular, this video is intended for students who have completed chapters 2-6.)
