‘Rob is an instructor who does not wear shoes’
-sterling praise from a former student

Geometric Robotics
I moonlighted as the head graduate student instructor for the Introduction to Robotics class at UC Berkeley for 2014-2015. As part of this course I cobbled together a set of slides, videos, and MATLAB code. Robotics is a very visual discipline, and I found that these tools helped myself and my students to have a clearer understanding of the materials covered in the course. Feel free to use the provided materials but please acknowledge the source!
