Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems Theory, Methods, and Algorithms / by Jorge Angeles.

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline borne of the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound is­ sues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering...
