Introduction to Robotics

Introduction to Robotics provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals and applications of robotics. It is designed to give readers especially engineering and computer science students a strong foundation in robotic systems mechanisms sensors actuators and control strategies.The book typically begins with a historical perspective and the evolution of robotics followed by an exploration of robotic anatomy kinematics dynamics and control. Key topics such as forward and inverse kinematics motion planning machine vision and artificial intelligence in robotics are covered in depth. Practical applications in manufacturing service industries space exploration and medical fields are also discussed to illustrate real-world relevance.Mathematical modeling and programming concepts are introduced alongside case studies and examples offering a hands-on approach to understanding robot behavior and system integration.Overall the book balances theory with practical insight making it a valuable resource for students educators and professionals entering the field of robotics.
