Robot Kinematics Demystified: A Breakthrough in Learning Robotics with Otto DIY

 If you've ever been fascinated by how robots move — how they walk, bend, or even wave — then you've already brushed against the world of robot kinematics. Understanding the mechanics behind robotic movement can seem overwhelming, especially without the right resources. That’s where Robot Kinematics Demystified steps in to bridge the gap between theory and application.

What Is “Robot Kinematics Demystified”?

Robot Kinematics Demystified (Programming Otto DIY Robot using Math, Physics and The C++ Language) is not just another robotics textbook. It’s a hands-on, practical guide designed to help readers deeply understand the kinematics of robots using Otto, a simple biped robot, as a learning platform.

Through clear explanations, real mathematical techniques, and C++ programming, this book empowers readers to explore how robots actually move. From calculating angles and joint positions to mastering complex movements — the book provides a comprehensive look into forward and inverse kinematics using real-world examples.

A Unique Approach to Robot Learning

Unlike typical educational resources that often recycle the same content, Robot Kinematics Demystified offers original methods developed by the author. These techniques for identifying Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters — which describe the geometric anatomy of a robot’s joints and links — are not available anywhere online or in standard textbooks.

That makes this book a truly invaluable resource for industry professionals, students, and hobbyists who want to go beyond surface-level understanding and dive into the inner workings of robotic motion.

Why Otto the DIY Robot?

Otto is a small, bipedal robot that’s popular among educators and makers for its open-source design. It's simple enough for beginners but capable enough to demonstrate complex robotic principles. Using Otto, the book walks readers through the process of:

• Modeling robotic joints and limbs

• Applying math and physics principles to motion

• Writing functional C++ code to control robotic movement

• Understanding and applying DH parameters in real scenarios
