Condition: Near Fine. The MIT Press, 1985. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A clean, tight and unmarked copy- " Robot Hands and the Mechanics of Manipulation explores several aspects of the basic mechanics of grasping, pushing, and in general, manipulating objects. It makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the motion of objects in the presence of friction, and to the development of fine position and force controlled articulated hands capable of doing useful work. In the book's first section, kinematic and force analysis is applied to the problem of designing and controlling articulated hands for manipulation. The analysis of the interface between fingertip and grasped object then becomes the basis for the specification of acceptable hand kinematics. A practical result of this work has been the development of the Stanford/JPL robot hand - a tendon-actuated, 9 degree-of-freedom hand which is being used at various laboratories around the country to study the associated control and programming problems aimed at improving robot dexterity. Chapters in the second section study the characteristics of object motion in the presence of friction. Systematic exploration of the mechanics of pushing leads to a model of how an object moves under the combined influence of the manipulator and the forces of sliding friction. The results of these analyses are then used to demonstrate verification and automatic planning of some simple manipulator operations. Matthew T. Mason is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University, and coeditor of Robot Motion (MIT Press 1983). J. Kenneth Salisbury, Jr. is a Research Scientist at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and president of Salisbury Robotics, Inc. Robot Hands and the Mechanics of Manipulation is 14th in theArtificial Intelligence Series, edited by Patrick Henry Winston and Michael Brady. 275 pp.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the fourth of the biennial Experimental Robotics symposia which are designed to bring together, in a small group setting, researchers from around the world who are at the forefront of experimental robotics research. The symposia are designed to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research in robotics that focuses on theories and principles which have been experimentally validated. This proceedings volume includes the fifty-five contributions that were selected by the International Program Committee for presentation at the symposium. The contributions represent work in the areas of design, perception, control, planning, and robotic applications and are organized into twelve broadly-defined chapters for ease of reference. Research groups from twelve different countries have contributed to this work.
