An insightful start to robot precept and application

Ever since it was first released in 1986, Craig’s Intro to Robotics: Mechanics and Control has been the primary textbook for teaching robotics at the college level. Combining traditional mechanical engineering materials with computer science and management theoretical concepts, the text covers a wide range of topics, including rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear and non-linear management, force control methodologies, mechanical design aspects, and robot programming.

The 4th Edition includes a balance of application and theory, introducing the science and engineering of mechanical manipulation–building and expanding on foundational understanding of mechanics, control theory, and computer science. With an emphasis on computational solutions of problems, the text aims to present material in a simple, intuitive manner.
