The purpose of this book is to present an introduction to the
multidisciplinary field of automation and robotics for industrial
applications. The companion files include numerous video tutorial
projects and a chapter on the history and modern applications of
robotics. The book initially covers the important concepts of hydraulics
and pneumatics and how they are used for automation in an industrial
setting. It then moves to a discussion of circuits and using them in
hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluidic design. The latter part of the book
deals with electric and electronic controls in automation and final
chapters are devoted to robotics, robotic programming, and applications
of robotics in industry.
