Robot Manipulator Control: Theory and Practice (Automation and Control Engineering) 2nd Edition by Frank L. Lewis (PDF)

Description

Robot Manipulator Control offers a complete survey of control systems for serial-link robot arms and acknowledges how robotic device performance hinges upon a well-developed control system. Containing over 750 essential equations, this thoroughly up-to-date Second Edition, the book explicates theoretical and mathematical requisites for controls design and summarizes current techniques in computer simulation and implementation of controllers. It also addresses procedures and issues in computed-torque, robust, adaptive, neural network, and force control. New chapters relay practical information on commercial robot manipulators and devices and cutting-edge methods in neural network control.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐About the Book:The book is excellent for a person who is interested in designing nonlinear controllers for manipulators. An introduction about Linear and Nonlinear Theory is provided in a lengthy chapter (i.e. chapter 2). The emphasis is on state-space representation not the transfer-function representation, however, the transfer function is slightly mentioned. Chapter 2 entitled as Introduction to Control Theory is amazing and it is a good review. The authors demonstrate several nonlinear controllers on two-arm planar manipulator. The mathematical derivation for the two-arm manipulator is thoroughly provided through Lagrangian approach in chapter 3. The controllers design starts off from chapter 4. Every controller is designed and simulated using Fortran. The codes are printed in the book and in the same chapter, so it is easy to see how the algorithms are implemented. Adding the codes in the book deserves one star. It is easy to convert the codes to other languages. In fact, I’ve converted them to C++ since I’m not familiar with Fortran. Moreover, the results for each simulation are provided. The authors discuss the results as well. The discrete case for controllers are also provided. Dynamics of some common Robot arms are provided in the appendices such as SCARA Arm, Stanford Manipulator, and PUMA 560 Manipulator. At the end of each chapter, recommended references are suggested by the authors in case the reader is interested in more details.About the Publisher:The ink of the book is faded. I can’t believe in 2018, an expensive book like this is printed in that way. It hurts the eye. Also, I see some typos but I couldn’t find the errata in the publisher’s website. So, my feedback is one star for the publisher.
