Fundamentals of robotics: 2D problems

Average Problem Difficulty:

These problems are concerned with the fundamental concepts that underpin robotics: how do we represent the position and orientation of objects in space.
This is a graduated set of problems that test your skills for the two-dimensional case (2D) which is highly relevant to mobile robotics where we consider a robot moving on a plane.
Some resources to help learn about this subject matter can be found at the Robot Academy, there are over 200 short video lessons.
