Description:
This textbook introduces robotic theories and technologies, bridging the gap between classic theories and real-world applications of robotic manipulators. A valuable resource to broad readers, including those who have a limited background in general engineering and wish to explore non-conventional applications of robotic manipulators.
Review Quotes:
"The authors very clearly and comprehensively present the fundamentals of robotics, with an emphasis on thorough understanding and rigorous - yet accessible - mathematical support. The book contains many illustrative examples that will guide the readers through the learning journey. An outstanding text for anyone interested in robotics."
Clément Gosselin, Université Laval, Québec, Canada
"The contributors are experienced scholars in the field. The book will be greatly valuable to grad students, researchers, and practitioners."
Yu Sun, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"This book is an indispensable resource for a wide range of readers, from those seeking to conduct their first robotics project to those who desire to deepen their understanding of robotic theories and practical implementation. The author's clear and concise presentation of classic robotics theories lays a solid groundwork for readers with minimum prerequisite knowledge. The inclusion of case studies on real-world robots of medical, agricultural, and soft robots further illustrates the book's core concepts in action of effectively bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in robotics."
