This introductory text treats the following subjects: the basic characteristics of industrial robot mechanisms;& nbsp ;& nbsp;the pose and movement of an object, which& nbsp;are described by homogenous transformation matrices; a geometric model of robot mechanism; a short introduction into kinematics and dynamics of robots; robot sensors and the planning of robot trajectories; basic control schemes resulting in either desired end-effector trajectory or force; robot grippers and feeding devices, which& nbsp;are described together with the basics of robot vision; the planning of robot assembly;& nbsp;and finally, robot standards and safety are briefly dealt with. The book concludes with a glossary in English, French and German.This volume& nbsp;is meant to be used as the main text for courses in robotics or industrial robotics and requires minimal knowledge of physics and mathematics.
