About this Item

Hardcover. Now in its second edition, Introduction to Robotics is intended for senior and introductory graduate courses in robotics. Designed to meet the needs of different readers, this book covers a fair amount of mechanics and kinematics, including manipulator kinematics, differential motions, robot dynamics, and trajectory planning. It also covers microprocessor applications, control systems, vision systems, sensors, and actuators, making the book useful to mechanical engineers, electronic and electrical engineers, computer engineers and engineering technologists. A chapter on controls presents enough material to make the understanding of robotic controls and design accessible to those who have yet to take a course in control systems. Niku offers comprehensive, yet concise coverage of robotics that will appeal to engineers. Robotic applications are drawn from a wide variety of fields. Emphasis is placed on design along with analysis and modeling. Kinematics and dynamics are covered extensively in an accessible style. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
