Tools to Assist Teaching and Learning of Mechanisms, Robotics, and Biomechanics

This paper details some innovations developed at Ohio University for augmenting the teaching and learning of mechanism kinematics and dynamics, robot kinematics, dynamics, and control, and the musculoskeletal biomechanics of human motion. Common to all three courses are NotesBooks, significant MATLAB use in class, homework, and projects, term projects simulated from real-world applications, and Internet resources developed and hosted by the author at Ohio University.
