When a robot fails to move accurately, loses track of its surroundings, produces unstable motion, or struggles to complete an autonomous task, understanding how its mechanical, electrical, sensing, control, and software systems work together is essential for diagnosing problems and creating reliable solutions.

This book is a practical, comprehensive guide designed to build a strong understanding of modern robotics from fundamental engineering principles to intelligent autonomous systems. It connects mechanical design, electronics, sensors, actuators, control, programming, perception, artificial intelligence, and system integration with real world robotic applications, providing a structured path from basic robot components to complete robotic systems.

What This Book Helps You Master:

Robotics engineering fundamentals, including robot classifications, system architecture, degrees of freedom, coordinate systems, and engineering design principles.
Mechanical robot design, including links, joints, structures, transmissions, gearing, end effectors, gripping systems, materials, and prototyping.
Electrical and electronic systems, including circuits, power distribution, embedded computing, motor drivers, signal conditioning, and hardware interfaces.
Sensors and measurement systems, including encoders, IMUs, cameras, LiDAR, proximity sensors, force sensors, calibration, and sensor fusion.
Robotic actuators, including DC motors, servo motors, stepper motors, hydraulic, pneumatic, soft, and specialized actuation technologies.
Robot kinematics and dynamics, including coordinate transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, Jacobians, forces, torques, motion, and dynamic modeling.
Robot control systems, including position, velocity, force, feedback, trajectory, interaction, and real time motion control.
Robotics programming and software, including embedded programming, software architecture, communication, simulation, debugging, integration, and deployment.
Computer vision, perception, localization, mapping, path planning, autonomous navigation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent decision making.
Industrial, collaborative, mobile, aerial, marine, medical, service, wearable, autonomous vehicle, and emerging robotic systems, including safety, reliability, ethics, and responsible robotics.

If you are a student, engineer, robotics enthusiast, educator, technician, programmer, or aspiring robotics professional, this book provides a practical framework for understanding how the major disciplines of robotics engineering combine to create machines that can sense, reason, move, interact, and perform useful tasks.

Build stronger robotics engineering knowledge, understand complex robotic systems with confidence, connect theory with practical applications, and develop a solid foundation for designing and analyzing modern robots.

Store description

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
