Description

The second edition of this highly successful book introduces the science and engineering of mechanical manipulation and provides a complete overview of the fundamental skills underlying the mechanics and control of manipulators. This edition features new material on Controls, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing, and Off-Line Programming Systems. Each chapter introduces the fundamentals of a topic and uses specially-designed examples to demonstrate the use of these principles. The first edition was the winner of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Textbook Award.
