Modeling and Control for Contemporary Robotics

Modeling and Control for Contemporary Robotics bridges mathematical foundations with engineering strategies for designing and operating modern robotic systems effectively. This comprehensive resource progresses from kinematic and dynamic modeling principles to advanced control methodologies essential for robotic system operation across industrial, service, and research contexts. Coverage systematically addresses forward kinematics, inverse kinematics solutions, Lagrangian dynamics formulation, and trajectory planning methodologies. The book details control approaches including proportional-integral-derivative feedback, feedback linearization, adaptive control, and robust motion planning strategies. Real-world applications span industrial automation, autonomous mobile robots, humanoid systems, and collaborative robotics across North America, Europe, and Asia. Coverage addresses sensor integration, real-time feedback mechanisms, environmental interaction management, and collision avoidance strategies. Advanced sections address redundant manipulator control, parallel mechanism analysis, and dynamic interaction with the environment. Practical case studies illustrate control strategy implementation in simulated and real robotic platforms. Readers develop competencies in robotic equation derivation, control algorithm design, and system implementation. This volume serves robotics engineers, researchers, students, and professionals seeking comprehensive understanding of modeling and control techniques for contemporary robotic system design and operation worldwide.
