Overview
This user-friendly book presents a wealth of robotics topics at a theoretical-practical level, most notably orientation, velocity, and forward kinematics. It explains robotics concepts in detail, concentrating on their practical use. More than 300 detailed examples with fully-worked solutions help provide a balanced and broad understanding of robotics in today's world. In addition, the book includes related theorems and formal proofs as well as real-life applications. The volume is richly illustrated with over 200 diagrams to help readers visualize concepts. It also offers a wealth of detailed problem sets and challenge problems for the more advanced reader.

Reviews
From the reviews: The author has selected about 330 examples to illustrate the theory. Many examples are based on practical robotics problems, and the solutions are fully developed. In the introduction the symbols and abbreviations are defined and are being used consistently throughout the text. ! The organization of the book and its didactic niceties will be appreciated by serious students as well as by instructors. (Franz Selig, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1120 (22), 2007) This is a classical textbook on robotics that could employed in the teaching of an upper undergraduate or a lower graduate introductory robotics course ! . The exposition is guided through more than 300 examples, which is a main feature of this book. ! Each chapter ends with a summary and a collection of exercises. The book concludes with a list of references and four appendices. (Krzysztof Tchon , Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 b)
