Overview

Robotic manipulators are becoming increasingly important in research and industry, and an understanding of statics and kinematics is essential to solving problems of robotics. This book provides a thorough introduction to statics and first order instantaneous kinematics with applications to robotics. The emphasis is on serial and parallel planar manipulators and mechanisms. The text is based upon the concepts of classical geometry. Students and practicing engineers will find this book easy to use, with abundant illustrations, exercises, and real-world projects to work on.
