Robotics (Academic) Books

A set of lectures about navigating mobile platforms or robots that is an extension of the B4 estimation course covering topics such as linear and non-linear Kalman Filtering.

A look into the applications of robot arms in industrial factories such as welding, painting, assembly and transportation, etc. Nowadays, the robot arms are indispensable for automation of factories.

A book on mobile robots with intricate details on navigation includes different interrelated activities: (i) perception, as obtaining and interpreting sensory information; (ii) exploration, as the strategy that guides the robot to select the next direction to go; (iii) mapping, involving the...

An overview on robot programming using RobotC software at Carnegie-Mellon's Robotics laboratory as the main reference.

Resource about navigating mobile platforms or robots covering topics such as linear and non-linear Kalman Filtering.

A brief overview of the development of a reduced weight human size robot which can be a reliable humanoid platform for implementing different control algorithms and human interaction.

This paper proposes an alternative to the saturated nonlinear PID controller previously presented by Santibaez et al. (2010) which, also, results from the practical implementation of the classical PID controller, by considering the natural saturations of the electronics in the control computer...

A paper that addresses the sliding mode control (SMC) of n-link robot manipulators by using of intelligent methods including fuzzy logic and neural network strategies. Three control strategies were used. In the first was the design of a sliding mode control with a PID loop for robot manipulator...

A research in the field of hyper redundant robots experimenting on used cables and DC motors or stepper motors. The rotation which by correlated screwing and unscrewing of their ends determine their shortening or prolonging, and by consequence, the tentacle curvature reducing the inverse...

A paper on the design of adaptive controllers which focuses on Christoffel symbols.
