5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to start learning about industrial robotics, November 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Robot Dynamics and Control (Paperback)
Having read this book from cover to cover, I can easily conclude that this book is surely THE start for anybody who wants to learn more about industrial manipulators. As a student in Mechatronics at The Fontys Hogeschool Eindhoven, I was supprised by the simplicity in witch the authors explain real 'hardcore' manipulator problems. The book starts with a very good basic explanation of motion represenatation witch are common used in manipulator engineering. To understand the book, you are to read all the chapters after eachother. The best thing about the book is that the methods and techniques are very 'compatible' to other resources (unlike most of the book about manipulators). Another very usefull thing is the ammount of references given after each chapter for the people who never stop thinking when they are interrested...
