'''Spring Quarter 2014'''

* Instructor: Prof. Kevin Lynch
* Office hours: Mon 3-4 PM, Wed 4-5 PM, Tech B222, Adam: Tuesday 6/10 11am, Tech B230
* Meeting: 11-11:50 MWF, Tech LG68
* course website: http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/index.php/ME_449_Robotic_Manipulation

==Course Summary==

Mechanics of robotic manipulation, computer representations and algorithms for manipulation planning, and applications to industrial automation, parts feeding, grasping, fixturing, and assembly.

==Grading==

Grading for the course will be based on student lectures, problem sets and a final project. There will be no exams. The final project, due during finals week, will take the form of a conference paper analyzing a manipulation problem, building on another research paper, or implementing a simulation.

==Course Text==
[[Media:park-lynch.pdf|"Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control," F. C. Park and K. M. Lynch]]. These course notes will be undergoing revision throughout the quarter; check the timestamp in the table of contents.
