This review is from: Control Software for Mechanical Systems: Object-Oriented Design in a Real-Time World (Paperback)

I know the professor Auslander and he's brilliant.

I bought this book to learn controls and it's not really intended for that.

It does make a very good reference book however and has some good examples. I used it in my later courses when I was programming 3-axis robots.
