Robot Analysis: The Mechanics of Serial and Parallel Manipulators by Wiley-Interscience

Buy this. Seriously.

I took an advanced robotics course in grad school and this book was recommended along with the book of Angeles (Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems). I bought the Angeles book because the cover looked more serious.

That was a mistake. I borrowed this book for one topic that Angles left out (forget which one), and never went back. The book of Tsai is very easy to read, covers a lot of material, and is very easy to read. Did I say that twice? Tsai says it once; succinctly and clearly with no room for confusion. I have a lot of respect for the author. I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit I've picked the book up several times just to read for fun. I'm not kidding.

I'll buy my own copy just as soon as my advisor asks for his book back...

great for agricultural machinery application

This is the best parallel mechanisms reference book I've seen thus far.

phenomenal content

an exciting book having phenomenal contents
Robot Analysis: The Mechanics of Serial and Parallel Manipulators by Wiley-Interscience

A must see by Mech E grad students and advanced undergrads.

A very readable, and by far, the most detailed and modern account of the mechanics of both serial and parallel systems.

Product Description

Complete, state-of-the-art coverage of robot analysis

This unique book provides the fundamental knowledge needed for understanding the mechanics of both serial and parallel manipulators. Presenting fresh and authoritative material on parallel manipulators that is not available in any other resource, it offers an in-depth treatment of position analysis, Jacobian analysis, statics and stiffness analysis, and dynamical analysis of both types of manipulators, including a discussion of industrial and research applications. It also features:
* The homotopy continuation method and dialytic elimination method for solving polynomial systems that apply to robot kinematics
* Numerous worked examples and problems to reinforce learning
* An extensive bibliography offering many resources for more advanced study

Drawing on Dr. Lung-Wen Tsai's vast experience in the field as well as recent research publications, Robot Analysis is a first-rate text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer studies, as well as an excellent desktop reference for robotics researchers working in industry or in government.
