Reviews
From the reviews of the third edition:
"The principal aim of this book is to serve as a textbook for a robotics course and as a reference for practicing engineers. It may be used also by an audience that ranges from junior undergraduates to doctoral students. … the book has the nice feature that the different chapters are quite independent and may serve as a guide to various important problems in robotics. Each chapter offers a lot of examples and exercises, which is the most significant … of the book." (Clementina D. Mladenova, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 c)
