| '..provides necessary tools to deal with various problems that can be encountered in the design, control synthesis and exploitation of robotic manipulators. It can also be recommended to students as a texbook.'
-European Mathematical Society
Written by two of Europe's leading robotics experts, this book provides the tools for a unified approach to the modelling of robotic manipulators, whatever their mechanical structure.
No other publication covers the three fundamental issues of robotics: modelling, identification and control. It covers the development of various mathematical models required for the control and simulation of robots.
· World class authority
· Unique range of coverage not available in any other book
· Provides a complete course on robotic control at an undergraduate and graduate level

You should find this book useful whether you are pursuing Java certification or
want to round out your knowledge and gain further confidence in using Java. This
book takes a different approach to prepare you for certification. It is designed to
provide you with coverage of the topics found in the exam and to provide additional... | | | | Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Applications: Artificial Muscles and SensorsElectroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers and scientists. An enabling EAP technology is emerging which attempts to imitate the properties of natural muscle and which, as a result, can perform a... |
Damage and Failure of Composite Materials
Understanding damage and failure of composite materials is critical for reliable and cost-effective engineering design. Bringing together materials mechanics and modeling, this book provides a complete guide to damage, fatigue and failure of composite materials. Early chapters focus on the underlying principles governing composite damage,... | | Darwin's Lost World: The Hidden History of Animal LifeSome 150 years ago, in 1859, Charles Darwin was greatly puzzled by a seeming absence of animal fossils in rocks older than the Cambrian period. He drew attention to a veritable Lost World that was later found to have spanned more than eighty per cent of Earth history. This book tells the story of his lost world, and of the quest to rescue its... | | Character Animation: 2D Skills for Better 3D, Second EditionFinally! A forthright approach to a complex art form.
