In what is increasingly a HN trope, the early comments on this link have predominantly been negative. Please don't let that fool you - QUT's Robotics group has been a driving force for Australia for several years now. It is a young group but led by a very experienced academic, Dr Peter Corke, and they are kicking goals.

As someone who holds a PhD from their biggest Australian competitor (Sydney Uni's Australian Centre for Field Robotics) I have nothing but respect for QUT's group.

And finally, Peter Corke (who gives most of these lectures) is a brilliant example of a great teacher. He is not only highly educated in the topics, but he's also highly educated in pedagogy itself and it shows in these lectures and his other freely available teaching material. If you want a general introduction to modern robotics from scratch, this is a great way in.

I think it is reasonable for something that is 1/5 general knowledge. Like, it's in the description __general__ knowledge, not specialized or deep-dive in any way.

I used to like playing with electric constructors when I was a kid and something like this is perfect for me to get back into the hobby.

It takes clicks to escape the intro material.

Then this: "We previously learnt how to derive a Jacobian which relates the velocity of a point, defined relative to one coordinate frame, to the velocity relative to a different coordinate frame. Now we extend that to the 3D case." https://robotacademy.net.au/masterclass/velocity-kinematics-...

I was trying to escape the intro material but legitimately couldn't work out how to navigate the site.

But yeah, robotics is really tough - I tried a course on Coursera once and found it too challenging despite my Physics major background.

I want to learn it though as it'd be a cool hobby to share when I have kids etc.

It seems reasonable to start with 1D for instruction then move to 3D to me.

What's the issue?

Biased thinking?
