Robotics and Automation: A Basic Approach

Robotics and Automation, CIM, CADCAM, FEM, FEA are all inter related topics. These subjects are some of the more time consuming, difficult and study intensive subjects at VTU and JNTU and other Indian Universities.

The typical Student can grasp the definitions and terminology easily but have more difficulty in gaining fluency in the various transformations and matrix combinations used to describe robot motions.

A knowledge of matrix methods is essential for the student to master the subject and get good marks. Hence a prerequisite to take robotics should be the Mathematics requirement, prior to enrolling in the course.

Sample exam questions and quiz problems for self testingh are included.

The book has been assembled from various notes and resources and is aimed at providing this background.
