Abstract

Robotics has undergone a profound revolution in the past 50 years, moving from the laboratory and research institute to the factory and home. Kinematics and dynamics theories have been developed as the foundation for robot design and control, based on the conventional definition of robots: a kinematic chain of rigid links.
