Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing) 2009th Edition

This book is helpful for robotics research.

This book has everything a new grad student or aspiring roboticist would want. It covers the mechanics, the controls and even some vision for robotic manipulators. Very nice resource.

Good

This is a great introductory book for manipulators. There are clear examples to help walk through kinematics, dynamics and control.

This item is misrepresented!!! Unless you are an instructor you will never receive the pdf solutions they (Springer publishing) claim is included. The Springer publisher representative I spoke with is unapologetic about misrepresenting their material on amazon and actually said that I should have went to their website to see the description of the item. I will never purchase anything from the Springer publisher ever again because of this. Also I find it curious as to the publication date of this material is 2010 and the 5 star review is dated 2009 especially since this is a first edition book.

A decent book crippled by the lack of a solutions manual. The explanations are very complete but lack adequate demonstration or examples. Spring crippled the book by pointlessly concealing the solutions manual, only allow professors to order a copy. Being unable to check your answers makes the text worthless for study.
