Programming and Communication of a Robotic Arm

Robotics Basics: Having a basic understanding of robotics concepts, such as the kinematics and dynamics of robotic arms, can be beneficial. 

Electronics Fundamentals: Understanding basic electronics concepts such as resistance, voltage, current, and having experience with common electronic components could be essential for working with robotic hardware. 

The goal of this STC is to learn the mathematical principles that govern the movement of a robot and how to apply them in simple programs. This includes programming simple trajectories and correcting pre-programmed operations in a robot using AI, and understanding the different communication strategies that a robot has with its environment. We give insights about how to acquire the necessary knowledge to carry out low-level communications with sensorised systems.
