Synopsis

Robotics and Automation is a core subject in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, and Industrial Engineering programmes, and is closely integrated with Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), CAD/CAM, Finite Element Methods (FEM), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). It is regarded as one of the more challenging courses in the curricula of VTU, JNTU, and many other Indian universities due to its extensive use of matrix algebra, coordinate transformations, and manipulator kinematics.While students often understand the basic concepts and terminology, many find it difficult to master the mathematical techniques required to analyse robot motion and solve examination problems with confidence. Success in university examinations depends not only on conceptual understanding but also on proficiency in matrix operations, homogeneous transformations, and systematic problem-solving methods. A sound background in engineering mathematics is therefore highly beneficial before undertaking a course in robotics.This book has been carefully compiled from teaching notes, university lecture material, and standard references to provide students with a practical, examination-oriented approach to learning. It includes numerous worked examples, model university examination questions, and self-assessment exercises designed to strengthen understanding, improve problem-solving skills, and help students perform successfully in semester examinations, competitive tests, and interviews.
