Overview
This book treats analysis and design of manipulations, manipulators and grippers by discussing basic concepts and fundamental formulation. It is a novel book dealing with manipulations that can be performed by robotic manipulators. 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 read even separately, so that they can be used separately for different courses and readers. An Introductory Chapter 1 illustrates motivations and historical developments of robotic mechanical systems. Chapter 2 describes the analysis and design of manipulations by automatic machinery and robots. Chapter 3 deals with the Mechanics of manipulators with the aim to propose algorithms for analysis, simulation and design purposes. Chapter 4 addresses the attention to mechanical two-finger grippers and related Mechanics of Grasping.

Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition: It presents in a very practical manner the fundamentals of robotic mechanics ! . Hence students in computer science and artificial intelligence, to name a few, will benefit from reading this book. ! a very nice point of this book is that all theoretical concepts are systematically illustrated by examples ! . I will strongly recommend this book as initial reading for students ! . I will also recommend this book as starting point for engineers who have to deal with robotic or automated systems. (J-P. Merlet, Meccanica, Vol. 41, 2006)
