This is a list of online materials for the robotics course lectures. Slides are the slides beamed during lectures, handouts are printable version of slides with basic equations and some explanations. It is recommended to print handouts before lecture and make a notes into the material during lectures or download them and comment using tablets.

Literature
Introduction slides, handouts
Kinematics slides, handouts
Geometry and algebra used in kinematics slides, handouts
Kinematics of serial manipulators slides, handouts
Denavit-Hartenberg step by step (by Tomas Pajdla) slides only
Denavit-Hartenberg example on real robot slides, handouts
Inverse kinematics of 6-DOF serial robot slides, handouts
Kinematics of parallel manipulators slides, handouts
