Robotics : An Introduction

Here is a book which encompasses the entire range of robotics and provides a comprehensive yet detailed introduction to the design and application of industrial robots for engineering students and manufacturing engineers. It provides an authoritative and integrated coverage of the many disciplines involved; mechanical, electrical, electronic and software aspects of robots are all covered, together with the closely related technologies of pick-and-place devices, walking machines, teleoperators and prosthetics.

A very readable, well-constructed book, with separate chapters covering all the key features of the industrial robot...deserves to be widely used. - Times Higher Education Supplement
