This document outlines the chapters and topics covered in a robotics textbook. Chapter 1 discusses coordinate frames and transformation matrices. Chapter 2 covers the kinematics of 6 degree-of-freedom manipulators including direct and inverse kinematics. Chapter 3 presents velocity analysis, Jacobian matrices, and statics. Chapter 4 introduces screw theory and its application to closed-loop mechanisms. Chapter 5 examines 3 degree-of-freedom parallel manipulators. The course includes a midterm, final, and homework/projects.
