Robot mechanisms and mechanical devices illustrated

This title covers virtually everything related to mobile robots - destined to become the definitive work on robot mechanisms. It discusses the manipulators, grippers, and mechanical sensors used in mobile robotics, and includes never before compiled material on high-mobility suspension and drivetrains. Motor control section is written for those who dont have an advanced electrical understanding. It is a must read for anyone interested in the field of high-mobility vehicles.
New Mechanisms, New Systems, New Devices
Written by a leading robot designer -- designer of robots used at the horizon of mobile robotics -- this resource offers a collection of both new and classic robotic mechanisms and devices unmatched in scope, from such high-level sources as the mechanical engineers mainstay, Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Illustrated. Paul Sandins superlative reference also brings you new robotic mechanisms and devices that have never before been collected! Inside you’ll find:
* The most extensive array of mechanisms and devices for mobile robots ever compiled
* Innovations in high-mobility suspension systems and drivetrains
* A wide range of steering systems and techniques
* Insights and diagrams on manipulator and gripper mechanisms and geometries
* Details on robust mechanical sensor systems
* Robot motor control electronics explained with the non-EE in mind
* Inspiration to take you to the next level in mobile robots -- and beyond
