Mechanisms: Kinematic Analysis and Applications in Robotics

The theory of mechanisms is an applied science of mechanics that studies the relationship between geometry, mobility, topology, and relative motion between rigid bodies. It has recently been updated, allowing for the formulation and elegant solution of problems. Mechanisms: Kinematic Analysis and Applications in Robotics provides an updated approach to kinematic analysis methods and a review of the mobility criteria used in planar and spatial mechanisms. Applications in the kinematic analysis of robot manipulators complement the material presented in the book, as kinematics is a basic area in the control and modeling of robot manipulators.
