ISBN: 1846286417 ISBN-13: 9781846286414 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: November 2008 Annotation: The classic text on robot manipulator control now covers mobile robots too! Based on the successful Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators by Sciavicco and Siciliano (Springer, 2000), Robotics has been expanded to include coverage of mobile robots, visual control and motion planning. Robotics provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modelling, planning and control. Fundamental and technological topics are blended uniquely and developed clearly in twelve chapters???with a gradually increasing level of complexity. A wide variety of relevant problems is raised throughout, and the proper tools to find engineering-oriented solutions are introduced and explained, step by step. Fundamental coverage includes kinematics, statics and dynamics of manipulators, trajectory planning and motion control in free space. Technological aspects include actuators, sensors, hardware- and software-control architectures and industrial robot-control algorithms. Established research results involving description of end-effector orientation, closed kinematic chains, kinematic redundancy and singularities, dynamic parameter identification, robust and adaptive control, force and visual control, mobile robots and motion planning are provided. To provide readers with a homogeneous background, appendices are included on linear algebra, rigid body mechanics, feedback control, and motion planning algorithms. To impart practical skill, more than 60 examples and casestudies are carefully worked out and interwoven through the text, with frequent resort to simulation. In addition, more than 100 end-of-chapter exercises are proposed, and the book is accompanied by an electronic solutions manual (downloadable from springer.com) containing the MATLAB?? code for computer problems; this is available free of charge to those adopting this volume as a textbook for courses. |
