Biologically Inspired Series-Parallel Hybrid Robots: Design, Analysis and Control

Biologically Inspired Series-Parallel Hybrid Robots: Design, Analysis and Control provides an extensive review of the state-of-the-art in series-parallel hybrid robots, covering all aspects of their mechatronics system design. The book highlights the modular and distributed aspects in their mechanical, electronics, and software design, presenting case studies on various famous series-parallel hybrid robots which will inspire new robot developers. The book also introduces various modern methods for modeling the kinematics and dynamics of complex robots. These methods are also introduced in the form of algorithms or pseudo-code which can be easily programmed with modern day programming languages. Assembles the appropriate literature of kinematics of various mechanisms used in robots Provides software tools to aid the development of robots Introduces clear definitions of all important terms as well as foundational theory and background information Provides in-depth kinematic analysis of various parallel mechanisms that are typically used in the design of series-parallel hybrid robots INDICE: Part 1: Introduction to Biologically Inspired Hybrid Robots1.
