Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Systems and Control (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781641720755)

The field of robotics is involved in the design, construction and use of robots and their control systems. These are developed with the objective of minimizing human effort or substituting for humans in environments, which are dangerous for human survival such as bomb detection and deactivation, in space, etc. Robotics integrates the techniques of electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, etc. for the conception, operation and manufacture of robots. Some common areas where robots are being used include medicine, surgery, military, and manufacturing, where efficiency and precision is of the utmost essence. The components of a robot are a power source, actuators, sensors and manipulators. Solar, nuclear and hydraulic power can be used to drive a robot. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments in the field of robotics in the modern scenario. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the mechanics, systems and control of robotic systems. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the disciplines.
