Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems: Theory, Methods, and Algorithms, Second Edition by Jorge AngelesEnglish | PDF | 2003 | 537 Pages | ISBN : 038795368X | 19.25 MB
Modern robotics dates from the late 1960s, when progress in the development of microprocessors made possible the computer control of a multiaxial manipulator. Since then, robotics has evolved to connect with many branches of science and engineering, and to encompass such diverse fields as computer vision, artificial intelligence, and speech recognition. This book deals with robots - such as remote manipulators, multifingered hands, walking machines, flight simulators, and machine tools - that rely on mechanical systems to perform their tasks.
