DESCRIPTION:
While mathematically rigorous, the book's focus is on ease of understanding of the concepts with interactive animated computer graphics illustrations and modeling software that allow clear understanding of the material covered in the book. The book provides an introduction to robotics with an emphasis on the study of robotic arms, their mathematical description, and the equations describing their motion. Written for use in a robotics course or as a professional reference, Robot Modeling and Kinematics is an essential resource that provides a thorough understanding of the topics of modeling and kinematics.. The kinematics of robot manipulators is also presented beginning with the use of simple robot mechanisms and progressing to the most complex robot manipulator structures. It teaches how to model robotic arms efficiently and analyze their kinematics. Robot Modeling and Kinematics teaches the fundamental topics of robotics, using cutting-edge visualization software and computer tools to illustrate topics and provide a comprehensive process of teaching and learning. All necessary computations are concisely explained and software is provided that greatly eases the computational burden normally associated with robotics
Text Based on Visualization Techniques and Software This book is intended to provide an introduction to robotics with a special emphasis on mathematically modelling the movements of robot manipulators. It is suitable for a senior level undergratuate or a beginning year graduate level course in robotics. This book is primarily aimed at how robots move things around in an industrial automation environment rather than the more popularized 'build your own robot' type . Arguably worst book on robotics Drew Wang The most generous thing I can say about this book is that I do not know if it is just poorly edited/proofread, or simply badly written by someone who undoubtedly knows some robotics but has no idea how to explain it. In any event, not only is the writing weak, the explanations confusing, many of the equations are simply wrong as printed! Look at all the mistakes on pp. 56-57 or pp. 60-61, for example. You want sp. RM said Author comments. I am the author of this book. As with nearly all first print books, this one does contain a few misprints and errors. The editorial process is a complicated one and errors are created at all levels. However, the errors have all been compiled, thanks in part to readers, researchers, instructors, and students, who have been kind enough to report them to me. Corrections to all known errors are available as an errata
