Robotics Engineering Fundamentals is a practical handbook for people who work with real robotic systems. It starts from first principles and builds toward cell design, commissioning, and maintenance. Every equation is explained in physical terms, and every concept is tied to the decisions engineers actually make.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- How robot arms, joints, actuators, transmissions, sensors, and controllers work together as one system
- Coordinate frames, transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, singularities, and the dynamics behind payload and torque
- Motion planning and trajectory generation, from velocity profiles to collision avoidance and configuration space
- Servo motors, gearing, encoders, feedback, and the control concepts behind accurate, stable motion
- Robot programming and teaching practice, offline programming, simulation, and virtual commissioning
- PLCs, HMIs, safety controllers, industrial networks, and robot-to-PLC handshakes
- Grippers, vacuum, tooling, and workholding, including gripping-force calculations
- Machine vision, hand-eye calibration, AI-enabled robotics, and mobile robots
- A step-by-step method for designing a robotic work cell
- Robotics safety, risk assessment, lockout/tagout concepts, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance
- Robot selection, cycle-time and OEE analysis, and project development from requirements to production
BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD USE
30 chapters in 10 parts, from fundamentals to practical reference
Worked examples with stated assumptions and units
Practice with answer guidance
Structured troubleshooting in a Problem, Causes, Diagnosis, Action, Prevention format
Practical comparison tables and illustrated figures
Seven appendices of checklists and equation summaries, plus a comprehensive glossary
WHO IT IS FOR
engineering and mechatronics students, automation and maintenance engineers, controls and manufacturing technicians, robot programmers, system integrators, and electrical or mechanical engineers moving into robotics. No advanced robotics background is required.
AN HONEST, VENDOR-NEUTRAL APPROACH
Robot languages, interfaces, diagnostics, and safety rules differ by manufacturer, jurisdiction, and application. This book teaches principles that carry across platforms. It does not present any one brand's commands or error codes as universal. Safety is covered throughout, but it never replaces a site-specific assessment risk, manufacturer instructions, or applicable regulations.
Whether you are learning the field, commissioning your first cell, or keeping a production line running, this book gives you a clear, structured reference you will return to again and again.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
