Angeles J. Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems 4ed 2014

Textbook in PDF format

Includes additional examples and exercises that serve as a guide to various, current dilemmas in robotics
Features modern images of new robot models
Revised and rewritten so that it is more complete and easy to understand for beginners to the world of robotics
The 4th edition includes updated and additional examples and exercises on the core fundamental concepts of mechanics, robots, and kinematics of serial robots. New images of CAD models and physical robots help to motivate concepts being introduced. Each chapter of the book can be read independetly of others as it addresses a seperate issue in robotics.
