Modern Robotics Videos

This page is under construction. Videos covering the whole book should be available by October 2017. Follow this link to go back to the main page for the book "Modern Robotics."

Video supplements for Modern Robotics are linked below. They cover much of the material in the book. To fully understand the material, though, you will need to consult the book and work some exercises! A good strategy for self-study may be to watch the video first, to get a quick introduction to the material, then read the corresponding section in the book.
