Inhaltsangabe

This volume provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modeling, planning, and control. It uniquely blends and clearly develops fundamental and technological topics in twelve chapters, with a gradually increasing level of complexity. In addition, it presents a wide variety of relevant problems and introduces and explains, step-by-step, the proper tools to find engineering-oriented solutions. Fundamental coverage includes kinematics, statics and dynamics of manipulators, trajectory planning and motion control in free space. Technological aspects include actuators, sensors, hardware- and software-control architectures and industrial robot-control algorithms. More than 60 examples and case studies are carefully worked out and interwoven through the text, with frequent resort to simulation. In addition, more than 100 end-of-chapter exercises are proposed, and the book is accompanied by an online solutions manual containing the MATLAB code for computer problems.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The classic text on robot manipulators now covers visual control, motion planning and mobile robots too!

Robotics provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modelling, planning and control. The text develops around a core of consistent and rigorous formalism with fundamental and technological material giving rise naturally and with gradually increasing difficulty to more advanced considerations.

The theory of manipulator structures presented in the early part of the book encompasses:

 the fundamentals: kinematics, statics and trajectory planning; and

the technology of actuators, sensors and control units.

Subsequently, more advanced instruction is given in:

dynamics and motion control of robot manipulators;

environmental interaction using exteroceptive sensory data (force and vision);

mobile robots; and

motion planning.

^® code for computer problems; these are available free of charge to those adopting Robotics

as a textbook for courses. This text is suitable for use in senior undergraduate and graduate courses in automation and computer, electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering courses with strong robotics content.
