Fundamentals of Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation

Series: Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering, Vol. 27
This book has evolved from a course on Mechanics of Robots that the author has thought
for over a dozen years at the University of Cassino at Cassino, Italy. It is addressed mainly
to graduate students in mechanical engineering although the course has also attracted
students in electrical engineering. The purpose of the book consists of presenting robots
and robotized systems in such a way that they can be used and designed for industrial
and innovative non-industrial applications with no great efforts. The content of the book
has been kept at a fairly practical level with the aim to teach how to model, simulate, and
operate robotic mechanical systems. The chapters have been written and organized in a
way that they can be red even separately, so that they can be used separately for different
courses and readers. However, many advanced concepts are briefly explained and their
use is empathized with illustrative examples. Therefore, the book is directed not only to
students but also to robot users both from practical and theoretical viewpoints. In fact,
topics that are treated in the book have been selected as of current interest in the field of
Robotics. Some of the material presented is based upon the authors own research in the
field since the late 1980s.
