Based on the highly successful classic, Robot Dynamics and Control, by Spong and Vidyasagar (Wiley, 1989),
Robot Modeling and Control offers a thoroughly up-to-date, self-contained introduction to the field. The text presents basic and advanced material in a style that is at once readable and mathematically rigorous. Key Features * A step-by-step computational approach helps you derive and compute the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, and Jacobians for the most common robot designs. * Detailed coverage of vision and visual servo control enables you to program robots to manipulate objects sensed by cameras.
