Industrial robotics brings together mechanics, electronics, computing, and production engineering, and this book treats all four as one connected subject. It develops the mathematics of frames, transformations, kinematics, and dynamics with enough rigour to be trustworthy, then carries that mathematics into actuators, sensors, grippers, controllers, vision systems, and the design of working production cells.

The material moves in sequence from first principles to installed systems. Early chapters explain what a robot is, how its links and joints are arranged, and how actuation and power transmission work.

The middle chapters cover spatial descriptions, forward and inverse kinematics, the Jacobian, manipulator dynamics, trajectory planning, and control, with every equation presented with its variables and units defined and every worked calculation carried through to a final answer.

Later chapters turn to programming, end effectors, machine vision, workcell layout, and the major applications of welding, assembly, material handling, and painting. The closing chapters address safety, standards, and collaborative operation, followed by emerging work in mobile manipulation, machine learning, and Industry 4.0.

Readers gain a single reasoning path that connects why a manipulator behaves as it does to how a real cell is specified, programmed, integrated, and safeguarded. Worked examples and practice problems support careful study, notation is introduced once and used consistently, and measurements follow the International System of Units.

The book is written for upper-level undergraduate students who want a structured path from foundations to advanced applications, and for early-career engineers and technicians who need an applied treatment of actuation, sensing, programming, workcell design, and safety that links classroom theory to installed equipment. A working familiarity with calculus, basic linear algebra, and introductory mechanics will help the reader move quickly, though no prior exposure to robotics is assumed.

Start reading today and build the understanding that takes you from the theory of a manipulator to the design of a working robot cell.
