Book Description

This introduction to robotics offers a distinct and unified perspective of the mechanics, planning and control of robots. Ideal for self-learning, or for courses, as it assumes only freshman-level physics, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra and a little bit of computing background. Modern Robotics presents the state-of-the-art, screw-theoretic techniques capturing the most salient physical features of a robot in an intuitive geometrical way.

With numerous exercises at the end of each chapter, accompanying software written to reinforce the concepts in the book and video lectures aimed at changing the classroom experience, this is the go-to textbook for learning about this fascinating subject.

• Elements of Robotics (Mordechai Ben-Ari, et al)

  This book bridges the gap between playing with robots in school and studying robotics to prepare for careers in industry and research. Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students.

• Biologically Inspired Robotics (Yunhui Liu, et al.)

  This book takes readers through an exploration of biologically inspired robot design and control, micro/nano bio-robotic systems, biological measurement and actuation, and applications of robotics technology to biological problems.

• ROS Robot Programming (YoonSeok Pyo, et al.)

  This book is a ROS robot programming guide based on the experiences accumulated from ROS projects like TurtleBot3, OpenCR and OpenManipulator. It's a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects necessary for a beginner in Robot Operating System (ROS).

• Foundations of Robotics: Approach with Python and ROS

  This book introduces key concepts in robotics in an easy to understand language using an engaging project-based approach. It covers contemporary topics in robotics, providing an accessible entry point to fundamentals in all the major domains.

• Distributed Control of Robotic Networks (Francesco Bullo, et al)

  This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. It provides explanations of the basic concepts and main results, as well as numerous examples and exercises.

• Modern Robotics with OpenCV (Widodo Budiharto)

  This book is written to provide an introduction to intelligent robotics using OpenCV. It gives you a firm grounding in computer vision and OpenCV for building simple or sophisticated Robotics applications.

• Robotics (WikiBooks)

  This book tries to cover all the key areas of robotics as a hobby. When possible examples from industrial robots will be addressed too. It gives the information needed to design a robot, to integrate a robot in appropriate applications, or to analyze a robot.

• Introduction to Autonomous Robots (Nikolaus Correll)

  It introduces concepts in mobile, autonomous robotics, covers principles of robot motion, forward and inverse kinematics of robotic arms and simple wheeled platforms, perception, error propagation, localization and simultaneous localization and mapping.

• Robots and AI (Lili Yan Ing, et al)

  The book explains new approaches on how robots and artificial intelligence affect the world economy by presenting detailed theoretical framework and country-specific as well as firm-product level-specific exercises.
