The lecture deals with the principles of robotics. The most important aspects will be presented systematically and are based on the architecture of stationary robots.

Topics covered: degrees of freedom, joints, coordination transformations, Denavit-Hartenberg Notation, direct and inverse tasks of kinematics, kinematics of speed, dynamic of the robot, planning of trajectory and last but not least the principles of robot control.

The tutorial style lecture (practical part) allows the connection of the theoretical and practical part of the lecture.
