Introduction to Robotics: Pearson New International Edition PDF eBook
For senior-year or first-year graduate level robotics courses generally taught from the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science departments. Since its original publication in 1986, Craig's Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control has been the marketês leading textbook used for teaching robotics at the university level. With perhaps one-half of the material from traditional mechanical engineering material, one-fourth control theoretical material, and one-fourth computer science, it covers rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear control, non-linear control, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects, and programming of robots.

Mechatronics and Robotics
The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969, merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics, to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline, that is, the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term, and of mechatronics itself, has been growing in the years, including new aspects and disciplines, like control engineering, computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role, in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible, as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain”, but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices, used in tight interaction with humans, that are governed by smart architectures (for example, for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics, through the contribution of researchers from different institutions, providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields, with attention to new fields of application, new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions, as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind, along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction, through robot control, navigation, planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions, like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans, ultra-high accuracy, model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems, modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics, aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios, with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms.
Introduction to Robotics, Global Edition
For senior-yearundergraduate and first-year graduate courses in robotics. An intuitiveintroduction to robotic theory and application Since its originalpublication in 1986, Craig’s Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics andControl has been the leading textbook for teaching robotics at theuniversity level. Blending traditional mechanical engineering material withcomputer science and control theoretical concepts, the text covers a range oftopics, including rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positionalkinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear andnon-linear control, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects, androbotic programming. The 4th Edition featuresa balance of application and theory, introducing the science and engineering ofmechanical manipulation—establishing and building on foundational understandingof mechanics, control theory, and computer science. With an emphasis on the computationalaspects of problems, the text aims to present material in a simple, intuitive manner.
