Dynamic Model
Where kinematics describes the geometry of motion, dynamics describes the forces behind it. This lecture covers the Newton-Euler and Lagrangian formulations of robot dynamics, the role of inertia, Coriolis, and gravity terms, and why torque-controlled robots behave fundamentally differently from position-controlled ones.
Students will understand the dynamic model as the foundation for model-based control — the topic of the afternoon session.

Associate Professor on Robotics · Automation Department, TUCN
Tassos Natsakis is an Associate Professor in the Automation Department at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUCN), where he leads research and teaching in robotics. His work spans robot modelling, kinematics, motion planning, and real-time control of robot manipulators. He is the lead organiser of this BIP and will coordinate the overall programme, deliver lectures on kinematics and path planning, and supervise the hands-on laboratory sessions throughout the physical week. He has recor... read more
