Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This simply titled work is a result of carefully delivered lectures ... for multiple classes of undergraduate engineering students over more than a decade. This exemplary course resource can serve as a basis for the study of robotics. Pedagogically well structured, it covers the fundamentals of industrial robotics ... . this book is a concise, readable reference source for those getting their feet wet in the field. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, two-year technical program students, and general readers." (G. Trajkovski, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), July, 2010)
