Robotics – hinnat ja saatavuus

This textbook covers the fundamental theorems and analysis of robotic manipulators and their state-of-the-art applications that have revolutionised their respective industries. This book is split into three parts, covering Fundamental, Advanced, and Research and Case Study topics of robotics. Fundamental topics cover minimally-required knowledge to study and analyse robots, i.e., planar kinematic analysis, trajectory generation, and basic control, preparing readers with zero or minimum background knowledge for a more comprehensive study of robotics fundamentals. Advanced topics cover classical analysis with state-of-the-art algorithms that make modern robotics intelligent, covering kinematic analysis, force-domain study, and path planning. The robotic manipulator of interest also extends beyond conventional rigid-link robots to address soft and under-actuated robots. Research and Case Study topics establish the link between the fundamental theorems of robotics, with their successful robotic applications that have revolutionised the medical, manufacturing, and agricultural industries. These state-of-the-art topics and case studies provide context for all earlier topics introduced in the textbook, which brings the student to the leading edge of robotics research and applications in the industry. Each aspect of robotics is introduced in a way that is easy for students of all levels to grasp and master, guiding the reader through the classical theorems, mathematical methods, and analytical tools necessary to analyse the designs of well-known robotic manipulators. Each chapter includes worked examples, many with realistic applications that establish the link between the fundamental theorems of robotics, with their successful robotic applications. This book can be used by undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering, particularly in robotics and mechatronics, mechanical, and relevant. Engineers and researchers (non-university) can also refer to this book concerning robotics and mechatronics applications in manufacturing, medical robotics, agriculture, and automation, will
