A modern and unified treatment of the mechanics, planning, and control of robots, suitable for a first course in robotics.

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

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

Based on the successful Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators by Sciavicco and Siciliano (Springer, 2000), Robotics provides the basic know-how on the fou

Introduces the basic concepts of robot manipulation--the fundamental kinematic and dynamic analysis of manipulator arms, and the key techniques for trajectory c
