Introduction to robotics (for Cognitive Science)

1. Action. Actuators. Controllers. Robots.
Exercise: iCubSim touching ball on table video 1

2. Kinematics: Forward and inverse.
Exercise: iCubSim kinematics video 2

3. Perception. Sensors. The basic processing of sensor data: distance, camera image, depth map.
