It is a most comprehensive guide, including valuable information for both the providers and consumers of creative robotics applications. Of its 66 chapters, 33 are new, covering important new topics in the theory, design, control, and applications of robotics. Other key features include a larger glossary of robotics terminology with over terms and a CD-ROM that vividly conveys the colorful motions and intelligence of robotics.
With contributions from the most prominent names in robotics worldwide, the Handbook remains the essential resource on all aspects of this complex subject. These are exciting times for manufacturing engineers. It has been said that American industry will undergo greater changes during the and decades than it did during the entire eight preceding decades of this century.
The industrial robot has become the symbol of this progress in computer-integrated manufacturing. This book is for engineers and managers in manufacturing industries who are involved in implementing robotics in their operations.
With tens of thousands of industrial robots already in use in the United States, there are plenty of role models for proposed applications to be patterned after. This book provides an overview of robot applications and presents case histories that might suggest applications to engineers and managers for implementation in their own facilities.
The application of industrial robots were well developed in the late s and early s. While the reader may note some of the examples discussed in this handbook incorporate older robot models, it is the application that is of interest.
As Joseph Engelberger, the founding father of robotics has pointed out, industrial robots in are "doing pretty much the same kind of work" as they did in Comprehensive and extensively illustrated, this outstanding reference provides a unique overview of robotics, its hardware, various types, their functions, social issues surrounding their use, and their future in industry.
Having broken free from its origins in industry, robotics has been rapidly expanding into the challenging terrain of unstructured environments. Unlike other handbooks that focus on industrial applications, the Springer Handbook of Robotics incorporates these new developments. Just like all Springer Handbooks, it is utterly comprehensive, edited by internationally renowned experts, and replete with contributions from leading researchers from around the world.
The handbook is an ideal resource for robotics experts but also for people new to this expanding field. Robots can play a major role in the service industries.
And it is in that direction that robotics needs to turn, Joseph Engleberger asserts, not toward the routine factory jobs of the past. Engleberger was instrumental in founding the robotics industry and his book Robotics in Practice is now a classic. In Robotics in Service he observes that the time is ripe for robotics to launch itself into an entirely new marketplace.
Engelberger's starting point is the fact that it is now feasible to equip robots with a wide repertoire of senses and to provide them with at least rudimentary intelligence. We can produce a range of robotic devices that can be put to work performing a variety of services that have become increasingly unattractive to the human labor force because of their mundane nature or the dangers they involve.
