CHOICE Review

This book offers excellent value for the money and should be part of any serious collection serving fourth-year undergraduates in either technical or electrical engineering-it provides a very thorough overview of robotics, from kinematic and dynamic analysis through robot intelligence and task planning. The authors are well qualified to write on these subjects and the discussion proceeds in a logical way. There is sufficient depth so that the volume provides more than just an introduction to important topics in robotics. Highly recommended.-G.E. Johnson, Vanderbilt University
