Robotics

<p><strong>Robotics: From Theory to Practice</strong> introduces robotic theories and technologies to audiences including university students professionals with engineering backgrounds and even high-school students interested in building their own robots. We aim to bridge the gap between classic theories and real-world applications of robotic manipulators which to date have far exceeded the domain of conventional industry.</p><p>The contents are divided into three parts. The first two cover classic theories of robotics including kinematics dynamics path planning control and programming. Specifically Part I is an introduction targeting junior students featuring more simplistic topics and examples. Part II provides the senior students and professionals with more in-depth discussions on critical topics and more comprehensive examples. In Part III we demonstrate how classic robotics theory can be extended to more advanced theoretical frameworks and adopted in real-world applications beyond conventional industries.</p><p>This textbook is valuable to broad readers including those who have limited background in general engineering and wish to explore non-conventional applications of robotic manipulators. The scaffolded contents from Part I to Part III are created to lower the prerequisites and smooth the learning curve. </p>
