tailieunhanh - SERIAL AND PARALLEL ROBOT MANIPULATORS – KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION

The interest in robotics has been steadily increasing during the last decades. This concern has directly impacted the development of the novel theoretical research areas and products. Some of the fundamental issues that have emerged in serial and especially parallel robotics manipulators are kinematics & dynamics modeling, optimization, control algorithms and design strategies. In this new book, we have highlighted the latest topics about the serial and parallel robotic manipulators in the sections of kinematics & dynamics, control and optimization. I would like to thank all authors who have contributed the book chapters with their valuable novel ideas and current developments | SERIAL AND PARALLEL ROBOT MANIPULATORS -KINEMATICS DYNAMICS CONTROLAnD OPTIMIZATION Edited by Serdar Kũọũk Serial and Parallel Robot Manipulators - Kinematics Dynamics Control and Optimization Edited by Serdar Kuguk Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
