The associated lecture videos have been a great source of information for me. The associated class has assignments that include programming and dockers for using the Drake environment. Plus, Russ Tedrake is a smart guy who asks great questions and he's always been willing to answer my questions and emails.

I'm not sure I've seen this one before. Are you thinking of Tedrake's other course and textbook on underactuated robotics here http://underactuated.csail.mit.edu/ ? I loved that one. Taught me a ton.

woah, you're totally right. My bad. I just remembered him talking about manipulation as under-actuated problem. thanks for the catch.

That’s amazing, thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely feature it in Weekly Robotics!

I look forward to seeing it finished. All the classical stuff is there, but when you get to the hard parts, like the Inverse Dynamics Control and Joint Impedance Control sections, they're just headings without content.

I bet if we check back in mid November, much of the information will be there.

I'm working through Lynch and Park's text, Modern Robotics which is available in print or online [0]. Does anyone know how this compares to it?

Very different focus in Modern Robotics. I've used Modern Robotics in the past to teach a course on robotics fundamentals. It's fundamental in that it covers problem definitions, and some basic solutions to those problems. It gets a little deeper than others in that it goes into an exponential representation for certain operations.
