pbThe revised text to the analysis, control, and applications of roboticsb p pThe revised and updated third edition of iIntroduction to Robotics Analysis, Control, Applicationsi, offers a guide to the fundamentals of robotics, robot components and subsystems and applications. The author--a noted expert on the topic--covers the mechanics and kinematics of serial and parallel robots, both with the Denavit-Hartenberg approach as well as screw-based mechanics. In addition, the text contains information on microprocessor applications, control systems, vision systems, sensors, and actuators. p piIntroduction to Roboticsi gives engineering students and practicing engineers the information needed to design a robot, to integrate a robot in appropriate applications, or to analyze a robot. The updated third edition contains many new subjects and the content has been streamlined throughout the text. The new edition includes two completely new chapters on screw-based mechanics and parallel robots.
