Book Description

Robotics brings together several very different engineering areas and skills. There is metalworking for the body. There is mechanics for mounting the wheels on the axles, connecting them to the motors and keeping the body in balance. You need electronics to power the motors and connect the sensors to the controllers. At last you need the software to understand the sensors and drive the robot around.

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 engineering students and practicing engineers the information needed to design a robot, to integrate a robot in appropriate applications, or to analyze a robot.

You'll notice very few "exact" values in these texts. Instead, vague terms like "small", "heavy" and "light" will be used. This is because most of the time you'll have a lot of freedom in picking these values, and all robot projects are unique in available materials.

• Robotics for Beginners (Tejinder Devgon, et al.)

  Provides a thorough foundation around robotics, this book takes you through a lot of essential topics about robotics, including robotic sensing, actuation, programming, motion control, and kinematic analysis of robotic manipulators.

• 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.

• Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Learning Computing with Robots (Deepak Kumar)

  This book will introduce you to the world of computers, robots, and computing. You will learn that computing is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Robots have been in existence much longer than computers.

• 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.

• Embedded Control Systems Design (Herman Bruyninckx, et al.)

  The book is mainly addressed to practicing control and embedded software engineers - working in research and development – as well as graduate students who are faced with the challenge to design control systems and implement them in real-time.
