Advances in Robot Kinematics: Mechanisms And Motion

Springer, The Netherlands, 2006. Glossy hard cover in tidy condition inside and out. No inscriptions or markings. This is a heavy book so please check postage with bookseller.

This book presents 53 independently reviewed papers which embody the latest advances in the theory, design, control and application of robotic systems, which are intended for a variety of purposes such as manipulation, manufacturing, automation, surgery, locomotion and biomechanics. Methods used include line geometry, quaternion algebra, screw algebra, and linear algebra. These methods are applied to both parallel and serial multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The contributors are recognised authorities in robot kinematics.
