Screw Theory and Its Application to Spatial Robot Manipulators

Understand the geometry embedded within robots and mechanisms using classical screw theory. Starting with points, lines, planes, vectors and linear algebra, and familiarizing the reader with screw geometry in order to study statics and kinematics of robots and mechanisms, this is a perfect resource for engineers and graduate students.

Sommario

1. Geometry of points, lines, and planes; 2. Coordinate transformations and manipulator kinematics; 3. Statics of a rigid body; 4. Velocity analysis; 5. Reciprocal screws; 6. Singularity analysis of serial chains; 7. Acceleration analysis of serially connected rigid bodies.
