Robot Manipulators: Modeling, Performance Analysis and Control

This book presents the most recent research results on modeling and control of robot manipulators.

• Chapter 1 gives unified tools to derive direct and inverse geometric, kinematic and dynamic models of serial robots and addresses the issue of identification of the geometric and dynamic parameters of these models.
• Chapter 2 describes the main features of serial robots, the different architectures and the methods used to obtain direct and inverse geometric, kinematic and dynamic models, pay...
