Synopsis

The trends and progress attained in computational kinematics over a broad class of problems are grouped into six parts describing the main themes:

1. kinematics algorithms, discussing kinematics problems in light of their solution algorithms;
2. kinematics of mechanisms, studying problems related to specific mechanisms;
3. singularities;
4. workspace, discussing the determination of the workspace of given mechanisms;
5. parallel manipulators;
6. motion and grasp planning, touching on computational geometry.

The volume contains a representative sample of the most modern techniques available for kinetics problems, including techniques based on recent advances in algebraic geometry.
Audience: Researchers, graduate students and practising engineers in work relating to kinematics, robotics, machine design and computer science.

About this title

About the Author

Pradip N. Sheth (1944 2009) was born in Vadodara, India. He earned his BE (1965) and MS (1968) in mechanical engineering at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, India, and his PhD in 1972 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where John Uicker served as his advisor. In his research he developed the Integrated Mechanisms Program for the computer-aided design and analysis of multibody mechanical systems. More than 200 industrial and educational organizations worldwide have utilized the system, which was the first of its kind.
