Reviews

"From the reviews: ""This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students looking for an introduction to the field of mobile robots from a mechanics and control perspective."" (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, June, 2010)"


From the reviews: This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students looking for an introduction to the field of mobile robots from a mechanics and control perspective. (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, June, 2010) This book covers specific aspects of mechanics and control theory for terrestrial locomotion systems. ... the book combines various approaches and could be useful to students and engineers as a reference and textbook.
