This introduction to robotics offers a distinct and unified perspective of the mechanics, planning and control of robots. Ideal for self-learning, or for course

One of the fundamental requirements for the success of a robot task is the capability to handle interaction between manipulator and environment. The quantity th

This self-contained introduction to practical robot kinematics and dynamics includes a comprehensive treatment of robot control. It provides background material

Methods by which robots can learn control laws that enable real-time reactivity using dynamical systems; with applications and exercises. This book presents a w
