About this title

Synopsis:

For senior year or first year graduate level robotics courses generally taught from the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or computer science department.
Since its original publication in 1986, Craigs Introduction to Robotics has been the market share leading textbook used for teaching robotics at the university level. With one half of the material from traditional mechanical engineering material, one fourth control theoretical material, and one fourth computer science, it covers rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear control, non-linear control, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects and programming of robots.

From the Back Cover:

An essential book for engineers developing robotic systems, as well as anyone involved with the mechanics, control, or programming of robotic systems. Now in its third edition, the first edition of this classic text was published approximately 20 years ago. The second edition has been in print and highly successful for 16 years.

The book introduces the science and technology of mechanical manipulation. The third edition is organized into 13 chapters.

Numerous exercises and a programming assignment appear at the end of each chapter. Computational aspects of problems are emphasized throughout the book. New in the third edition are MATLAB® exercises.
