"Theory of Applied Robotics: Kinematics, Dynamics, and Control" is appropriate for courses in robotics that emphasize kinematics, dynamics, and control. The contents of this book are presented at a theoretical-practical level. It explains robotics concepts in detail, concentrating on their practical use. Related theorems and formal proofs are provided, as are real-life applications. Students, researchers, and practicing engineers alike will appreciate this user-friendly presentation of a wealth of robotics topics, most notably orientation, velocity, and forward kinematics. "Theory of Applied Robotics: Kinematics, Dynamics, and Control" includes: richly illustrated chapters and over 200 diagrams to help readers visualize concepts; more than 300 detailed examples with fully-worked solutions which expose readers to a balanced and broad understanding of robotics in today's world; a wealth of detailed problem sets and challenge problems for each chapter for the more advanced reader; and, a rich solutions manual which is available for instructors.
