For one-semester, senior-level undergraduate/first-year graduate courses in Robotics. This text serves as an introduction to robotics analysis: the systems and sub-systems that constitute robots and robotic systems, and robotics applications. As such, it covers all the fundamentals, including kinematics, kinetics and force control, and trajectory planning of robots; it covers sub-systems such as actuators, sensors, and vision systems; and it covers robotics applications. Introduction to Robotics also includes topics related to mechatronics, microprocessor actuator control, integration of sensors, vision systems, and fuzzy logic.
Good and not so good (bad?)
| Customer Rating: | | It starts off well. The sections on kinematics and motion are okay, and even the dynamic analysis is not bad, though a bit light for electrical engineers. Then it takes a turn for the worse and gives a generalized picture of sensors and actuators and vision systems, which is okay if it has never been seen before, but for electrical engineers it is not needed. The section on fuzzy logic is interesting but it is dissapointing that there is not a section on real control systems. I hope that fuzzy logic is not a substitute for convention control as this book seems to imply. Paul's book has much more substance dispite its age. Still, for a survey of the topic or for the computer scientist, maybe it is not that bad of a text. |
