They also bring complexity and difficulty in dynamic modeling and control system design. However, advances in nonlinear system analysis and control system design offer powerful tools and concepts for the control of mobile manipulator systems. \u003cstrong\u003eFundamentals in Modeling and Control of Mobile Manipulators \u003c\/strong\u003epresents a thorough theoretical treatment of several fundamental problems for mobile robotic manipulators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book integrates fresh concepts and state-of-the-art results to systematically examine kinematics and dynamics, motion generation, feedback control, coordination, and cooperation. From this treatment, the authors form a basic theoretical framework for a mobile robotic manipulator that extends the theory of nonlinear control and applies to more realistic problems. Drawing on their research over the past ten years, the authors propose novel control theory concepts and techniques to tackle key problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered include kinematic and dynamic modeling, control of nonholonomic systems, path planning that considers motion and manipulation, hybrid motion\/force control and hybrid position\/force control where the mobile manipulator is required to interact with environments, and coordination and cooperation strategies for multiple mobile manipulators. The book also includes practical examples of applications in engineering systems. This timely book investigates important scientific and engineering issues for researchers and engineers working with either single or multiple mobile manipulators for larger operational space, better cooperation, and improved productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zhijun Li,Shuzhi Sam Ge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466580410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466580411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Zhijun Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088312971519,"sku":"9781466580411","price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8f3f59c-4fc7-4331-9d8e-9cafe10a15c9.jpg?v=1769104216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fundamentals-in-modeling-and-control-zhijun-li-9781466580411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
