The classic text on robot manipulators now covers visual control, motion planning and mobile robots too! Based on the successful Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators by Sciavicco and Siciliano (Springer, 2000), Robotics provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modelling, planning and control. It has been expanded to include coverage of mobile robots, visual control and motion planning. A variety of problems is raised throughout, and the proper tools to find engineering-oriented solutions are introduced and explained. The text includes coverage of fundamental topics like kinematics, and trajectory planning and related technological aspects including actuators and sensors. To impart practical skill, examples and case studies are carefully worked out and interwoven through the text, with frequent resort to simulation. In addition, end-of-chapter exercises are proposed, and the book is accompanied by an electronic solutions manual containing the MATLAB ® code for computer problems; this is available free of charge to those adopting this volume as a textbook for courses. Review: Research - This book is helpful for robotics research. Review: it's a great resource - This book has everything a new grad student or aspiring roboticist would want. It covers the mechanics, the controls and even some vision for robotic manipulators. Very nice resource.

Great Baseline Robotics Book
This is a great introductory book for manipulators. There are clear examples to help walk through kinematics, dynamics and control.

Too bad there isn't a zero star rating
This item is misrepresented!!! Unless you are an instructor you will never receive the pdf solutions they (Springer publishing) claim is included. The Springer publisher representative I spoke with is unapologetic about misrepresenting their material on amazon and actually said that I should have went to their website to see the description of the item. I will never purchase anything from the Springer publisher ever again because of this. Also I find it curious as to the publication date of this material is 2010 and the 5 star review is dated 2009 especially since this is a first edition book.

A decent book crippled by the lack of a solutions manual. The explanations are very complete but lack adequate demonstration or examples. Spring crippled the book by pointlessly concealing the solutions manual, only allow professors to order a copy. Being unable to check your answers makes the text worthless for study.

Libro ottimo
Il libro è uno dei migliori per studiare robotica, io l'ho preso per la magistrale, mi ci trovo molto bene. Visto quanto costa però mi aspettavo arrivasse impeccabile, invece è stato messo direttamente nella busta Amazon di cartone ed è arrivato leggermente ammaccato 🫤

The best book on robotics modeling so far.

New book
The book arrived fast and he is brand new. No problem with the book. The book is pretty sleepy but when needed it is ok
