Industrial Robotics

Robotics today represents one of the most dynamic and promising disciplines in modern science and technology. Combining mechanics, electronics, computing and artificial intelligence, robotics has profoundly transformed the way we think about work, exploration and even interaction between man and machine. This book is part of this dynamic of innovation, and aims to offer a comprehensive, structured approach to the design, control and application of robots in a variety of environments. Through a clear presentation of fundamental principles and recent advances, the book covers the different types of robots - mobile, manipulator, humanoid and autonomous - with emphasis on mechanical aspects, sensors, actuators and control algorithms. It also highlights current challenges in robotics, such as intelligent navigation, multisensory perception, human-robot cooperation and decision-making autonomy. Aimed at students, engineers and researchers, this book is an essential reference for understanding the theoretical and practical foundations .
