Product Description
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. A rich solutions manual which is available for instructors. Reza N. Jazar is an associate professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Manhattan College. His main research areas is nonlinear dynamic systems, including robotics, vehicles, and MEMS. He's written extensively on many diverse topics in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering subjects. He regularly teaches undergraduate and graduate-level courses on mechanical engineering. |

Good purchase by Juan Gregorio Regalado Pacheco (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)  5 Stars
October 09, 2009
I'm enjoying too much this book, I haven't readed it completely but I'm really satisfied with this purchase. I encourage you to buy this book.
I've bought this book because I'm a robotics enthusiast and until now I've found answers to almost any question I had about.
Really a good job.

Best Textbook on the Subject by Nicholas Buzzi (NY, USA) 5 Stars
September 16, 2008
I recently ordered this book for my Robotics class, and it is by far the most comprehensive text I have read on the subject. The topics are clearly defined and equations are effectively derived and arranged.

Writers of Computer Graphics Textbooks, please note. by John P. F. Oconnor (Katy, TX) 5 Stars
March 31, 2008
I wanted a book that covered Inverse Kinematics for animation in computer graphics. What I found was a book that not only went further than my needs, but turned out to be the most comprehensive coverage of IK and associated topics that I have yet come across.
All of the material covered needs some preliminary study before reading this book, probably from several sources. However, if anyone should want a full treatment of Rotation,Orientation,Motion and Forward Kinematics, to bring it all together, then this is the book for it. The author gives the clearest diagrams and explanations of the Denavit-Hartenberg Notation I have yet seen. If the previous papers on this topic are anything to go by, this has not been an easy task.
Chapter 2. Rotation Kinematics. Excellent examples of Rotation and Successive Rotation about Global Cartesian Axes; Global Roll-Pitch-Yaw Angles; Successive Rotation about Local Cartesian Axes; Euler Angles.
Chapter 3, on Orientation Kinematics gives advanced treatment of this area.
Chapter 4, again the best single treatment I have seen on Rigid Body Motion, Inverse and Compound Homogeneous Transformations. Screw Coordinates are included for advanced study.
Chapter 5, on Forward Kinematics, gives numerous examples on applications of the Denavit-Hartenberg Notation to Transformations. Again, the best I have seen yet, with respect to the diagrams and accompanying examples.
Chapter 6, on Inverse Kinematics, is well explained.
The remaining chapters, from Angular Velocity to Numerical Methods, Acceleration, Robot and Motion Dynamics appear to be in the same vein, although I have only scanned the contents.
Of course, the reader will come across the odd typo. However, I would like to congratulate the author on writing what must be the leading textbook in this field.
