Introduction To Robotics - Mechanics - And Control

Discusses robot programming systems, mechanical design, and off-line simulation. Strengths

Introduction To Robotics: Mechanics and Control by John Craig Introduction to Robotics - Mechanics and Control

Reviewers from IEEE Xplore highlight the kinematics and dynamics chapters as some of the best-written and easiest to follow in the field. Discusses robot programming systems

Craig aims to present complex computational problems in a simple way, using a "modified" Denavit-Hartenberg notation that many find more intuitive for computation than the original version. forward and inverse kinematics

Covers spatial transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, Jacobians, and dynamics.
