Details about Industrial Robotics Fundamentals: Theory and Applications:

Industrial Robotics Fundamentals is an introduction to the principles of industrial robotics, related systems, and applications. The technical aspects of industrial robotics are covered in four units: Principles of Robotics; Power Supplies and Movement Systems; Sensing and End-of-Arm Tooling; and Control Systems and Maintenance. Topics included are degrees of freedom, programming, implementation planning, and system maintenance. Student learning is enhanced by the use of a systems, or “big-picture,” approach to the material. End-of-chapter material, including hands-on Activities, Learning Extensions and Advanced Analysis, build hands-on and higher-order thinking skills that extend beyond the textbook. Features throughout the text address special interest topics, such as pioneers in the field, applications of technology, and careers.
