Robotics, Second Edition is an essential addition to the toolbox of any engineer or hobbyist involved in the design of any type of robot or automated mechanical system. It is the only book available that takes the reader through a step-by step design process in this rapidly advancing specialty area of machine design.
This book provides the professional engineer and student with important and detailed methods and examples of how to design the mechanical parts of robots and automated systems. Most robotics and automation books today emphasis the electrical and control aspects of design without any practical coverage of how to design and build the components, the machine or the system. The author draws on his years of industrial design experience to show the reader the design process by focusing on the real, physical parts of robots and automated systems.

• Answers the questions: How are machines built? How do they work? How does one best approach the design process for a specific machine?
• Thoroughly updated with new coverage of modern concepts and techniques, such as rapid modeling, automated assembly, parallel-driven robots and mechatronic systems
• * Calculations for design completed with Mathematica which will help the reader through its ease of use, time-saving methods, solutions to nonlinear equations, and graphical display of design processes
• Use of real-world examples and problems that every reader can understand without difficulty
• Large number of high-quality illustrations 
• Self-study and homework problems are integrated into the text along with their solutions so that the engineering professional and the student will each find the text very useful 

EL texto clásico en robots manipuladores que ahora cuenta con temas extras como control visual, planeo de movimientos y robots moviles. Es un texto impresindible el cual nos provee de conceptos básicos en modelado, planeo y control de robots. 

The classic text on robot manipulators now covers visual control, motion planning and mobile robots too

Robotics provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modelling, planning and control. The text develops around a core of consistent and rigorous formalism with fundamental and technological material giving rise naturally and with gradually increasing difficulty to more advanced considerations.

The theory of manipulator structures presented in the early part of the book encompasses:

a the fundamentals: kinematics, statics and trajectory planning; and

a the technology of actuators, sensors and control units.

Subsequently, more advanced instruction is given in:

a dynamics and motion control of robot manipulators;

a mobile robots;

a motion planning; and

a interaction with the environment using exteroceptive sensory data (force and vision).

Appendices ensure that students will have access to a consistent level of background in basic areas such as rigid-body mechanics, feedback control, and others. Problems are raised and the proper tools established to find engineering-oriented solutions rather than to focus on abstruse theoretical methodology. To impart practical skill, more than 60 examples and case studies are carefully worked out and interwoven through the text, with frequent resort to simulation. In addition, nearly 150 end-of-chapter problems are proposed, and the book is accompanied by a solutions manual (downloadable from www.springer.com/978-1-84628-641-4) containing the MATLABA(R) code for computer problems; this is available free of charge to those adopting Robotics as a textbook for courses. This text is suitable foruse in senior undergraduate and graduate courses in automation and computer, electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering courses with strong robotics content.

Robot Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Illustrated es la mejor fuente para todos aquellos que quieren entender el diseño mecánico y sistemas eléctricos avanzados de robots moviles, motores y sistemas de control de movimiento.  En tanto, teoría, métodos y algoritmos de mecanismos de robots no son el tema principal en este libro.s book.

La NASA tiene planeado enviar a finales de 2009 este nuevo rover, que continuará la búsqueda de vida en Marte. El vehículo robot denominado Mars Science Laboratory, verificará si la atmósfera marciana pudo contener vida microscópica.

Bastante interesante el robot que vemos en el video. Yo quiero uno…

• Introduces you to robotics, electronics, and programming for robotics step-by-step — you don’t need to be a science whiz to get started, but you will be when you have finished
•  Vividly explains the science behind robots and the technologies needed to build them, including: Electronics; Mechanical assembly; Motors and batteries; Programming and microcontrollers
•  Shows how you can create simple robots and models using materials found around the house and workroom
•  Requires only inexpensive, easily obtained parts and tools
•  Provides a PCB (printed circuit board) that will make it easy to create the circuits used in this book as well as your own experiments
•  Gives you directions for building a maze-solving robot, two different designs for a light-seeking robot, an artificial intelligence program that will respond to you, and much more
•  Explains underlying principles and suggests other applications
•  Supplies parts lists and program listings.

Un estupendo libro para los amantes de la mecatrónica.

Aunque el BigDog de la empresa Boston Dynamics ha sido mejorado, esta vez los requerimientos del ejército de Estados Unidos podrían hacerlo más grande: tendrá que cargar hasta 180 kilos de equipo, con la capacidad de correr poco más de treinta kilómetros sobre cualquier clase de terreno (desierto, nieve, selva, bosque) y funcionar con una sola toma de combustible durante un periodo de 24 horas. El nombre clave que le ha otorgado el ejército es Legged Squad Support System o L3, y tendrá un cerebro electrónico ‘más inteligente’, con la capacidad de obedecer comandos de voz y seguir rutas trazadas por GPS.
