The book presents a systematic technique to generate Jacobians for arbitrary serial manipulators. Unfortunately, the intuitive approach to Jacobian generation is not discussed, and readers with no alternative reference will have to follow their rather tedious method. Overall, the book is ok, despite small recurring errors.

This was the textbook in my manipulator robotics class; we used the J.J. Craig "Introduction to Robotics" book as a secondary reference. While this book covers all of the major topics in detail, the treatment is less than straightforward; contrast this to the Craig book which provides less information (completely omitting differential kinematics, for example), but is far more readable. Many of the derivations that the authors employ are unintuitive. I'll recommend this book, but only until I find a good alternative.

This book is one of the most boring books that I ever had to read. It was painful and NO it did not inspire me to become the best damn robot designer in the world. Instead I opted for Power Engineering...

I've seen some of your opinions before, but I think "I'm gonna give you one more chance".
Apparently, I'm WRONG!!!
Everyone, please do NOT buy anything from this guy.
There's a really high chance that he will not answer, notice, response, sending you ANYTHING and waste your time.

They notified me twice that the shipping of my order would delay.
it arrived more than two weeks after the estimated delivery date.
of course, to the pros of the deal was that the book arrived in
perfect condition.
