Core Principles of Robot Design, Sensors, Actuators, Embedded Control Systems, Kinematics, and Automation
Robotics brings together mechanical engineering, electronics, programming, control theory, and intelligent systems to create machines capable of sensing, moving, and interacting with their environments.
Robotics Engineering Fundamentals provides a structured introduction to the engineering principles behind modern robotic systems. It is designed for readers who want to understand how robots are designed, controlled, programmed, and integrated into practical applications.
The book begins with the foundations of robotics and gradually develops the concepts needed to understand complete robotic systems. Rather than treating robots as isolated machines, it examines how mechanical structures, electronic components, sensors, actuators, controllers, and software work together.
Inside this book, readers explore:
-
Fundamental concepts and architecture of robotic systems
-
Robot design principles and system-level engineering
-
Sensors and methods for collecting information from the environment
-
Actuators, motors, and mechanisms used to produce movement
-
Embedded control systems for robotic applications
-
Feedback, control loops, and basic control concepts
-
Coordinate systems and robot kinematics
-
Forward and inverse kinematics concepts
-
Robot motion and trajectory considerations
-
Programming concepts used in robotic systems
-
Automation and robotic system integration
-
Practical engineering considerations in robot development
-
The relationship between hardware, software, sensing, and control
A major focus of robotics engineering is integration. A robot may have sophisticated mechanical components, but without appropriate sensing and control, those components cannot operate effectively as a complete system. Understanding these relationships is therefore essential for analyzing and developing robotic machines.
The book also introduces the engineering reasoning behind robotic design. Readers can learn how engineers break complex problems into smaller components, select appropriate technologies, evaluate system requirements, and consider factors such as accuracy, stability, response, reliability, and safety.
Whether you are studying robotics, exploring engineering concepts, developing technical knowledge, or seeking a foundation for more advanced work, this book provides a practical framework for understanding the technologies that make robotic systems possible.
From sensors and actuators to kinematics, embedded controllers, and automation, Robotics Engineering Fundamentals connects the major building blocks of robotics into a coherent engineering perspective.
Understand the components. Connect the systems. Explore the engineering behind robotics.

Terms of sale
Orders can be returned within 30 days of receipt.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
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 CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, 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.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
