Self-Study

Here are some of my favorite resources in my quest of assembling a solid mechatronics education within the confines of a Rutgers B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

Compendium on Robotic Locomotion

Compendium on Robotic Actuators

Open-Source Hardware Bible

Course Notes

Not all lectures are complete as I occasionally switch to paper notes.
