Robotics and Image Processing using CoppeliaSim
In this class, we will create a robotic simulation that performs pick-and-place of an object. The object is detected and localised using a camera. We will work on kinematics, inverse kinematics and image processing, all on the free software CoppeliaSim.

Class content
Session 1
70 mins
Introduction to robotics and its sub-disciplines. Start working on and exploring the capabilities of CoppeliaSim (creating objects, robot structure and customisation)
Session 2
70 mins
Learn about robot kinematics, the mathematical side of things as well as implementing it in code on CoppeliaSim.
Session 3
70 mins
Learn about Inverse Kinematics and how to implement it in CoppeliaSim.
Session 4
70 mins
Learn about Image Processing, and more specifically the capabilities offered within CoppeliaSim. Introduce the Camera to our scene and start working on the Camera's code.
Session 5
70 mins
Learn about Camera Perspective and converting between pixel positions to real-life position. This lesson will involve some Geometry and Maths + coding.
Session 6
70 mins
Combine what we have learnt to execute the project requirements in the simulation.
Session 7
70 mins
Finish the simulation, answer student questions + introduce students to more capabilities offered by CoppeliaSim regarding other robotics disciplines for them to explore later.
