A comprehensive review of the principles and dynamics of robotic
systems
Dynamics and Control of Robotic Systems offers a systematic and
thorough theoretical background for the study of the dynamics and
control of robotic systems. The authors--noted experts in the
field--highlight the underlying principles of dynamics and control that
can be employed in a variety of contemporary applications. The book
contains a detailed presentation of the precepts of robotics and
provides methodologies that are relevant to realistic robotic systems.
The robotic systems represented include wide range examples from
classical industrial manipulators, humanoid robots to robotic surgical
assistants, space vehicles, and computer controlled milling machines.
The book puts the emphasis on the systematic application of the
underlying principles and show how the computational and analytical
tools such as MATLAB, Mathematica, and Maple enable students to focus on
robotics' principles and theory. Dynamics and Control of Robotic
Systems contains an extensive collection of examples and problems and:
- Puts the focus on the fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics as
applied to robotic systems
- Presents the techniques of analytical mechanics of robotics
- Includes a review of advanced topics such as the recursive order N
formulation
- Contains a wide array of design and analysis problems for robotic
systems
Written for students of robotics, Dynamics and Control of Robotic
Systems offers a comprehensive review of the underlying principles and
methods of the science of robotics.
