Type: IBES Course
ABSTRACT
This course presents a unified, mathematically rigorous treatment of screw theory and geometric algebra with a focus on modern robotic applications. Students will develop a deep understanding of rigid-body kinematics, differential motion, and robot dynamics through the lens of Plücker coordinates, twists, wrenches, and geometric products. By integrating screw-theoretic representations with the expressive framework of geometric algebra, the course provides powerful tools for modeling motion, formulating control laws, and designing algorithms for manipulation, locomotion, and perception.
This course is part of the IBES training activities for the a.y. 2025/2026.
