Textbook Title: Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation
Textbook Description:
This free etextbook covers a mathematical formulation of the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators. The textbook presents a concise set of mathematical tools which emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed in a unified framework. The textbook contains many examples and exercises suitable for a student in an advanced course in robotics, or may be used as a reference for robotics researchers. Previous exposure to robotics and a basic knowledge of linear algebra and advanced calculus is assumed.
