چکیده
This chapter is devoted to the design of robots, with a focus on serial architectures. In this regard, we start by proposing a stepwise design procedure; then, we recall the main issues in robot design. These issues pertain to workspace geometry, the kinetostatic, the dynamic, the elastostatic, and elastodynamic performance. In doing this, the mathematics behind the concepts addressed is briefly outlined to make the chapter self-contained. We survey some of the tools and criteria used in the mechanical design and performance evaluation of robots. Our focus is limited to robots that are (a) primarily intended for manipulation tasks and (b) supplied with serial kinematic chains. The kinematics of parallel robots is addressed in detail in Chap. 12. Wheeled robots, walking robots, multifingered hands, and other similar specialized structures are studied in their own chapters. 10.1 The Robot Design Process ...................... 229

The word haptics, believed to be derived from the Greek word haptesthai, means related to the sense of touch. In the psychology and neuroscience literature, haptics is the study of human touch sensing, specifically via kinesthetic (force/position) and cutaneous (tactile) receptors, associated with perception and manipulation. In the robotics and virtual reality literature, haptics is broadly de...

Preamble The course is aimed at people who already know how to do elementary rigid-body dynamics using 3D vectors. It follows the treatment of spatial vectors appearing in the book Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms, which should be consulted for more details. Another source that may be useful is the Springer Handbook of Robotics, Chapter 2. Other materials relating to this course can be found on D...

Telerobots, remotely controlled robots, are widely used to explore undersea terrains and outer space, to defuse bombs, and to clean up hazardous waste. Until 1994, telerobots were accessible only to trained and trusted experts through dedicated communication channels. This chapter describes networked telerobots, a new class of telerobots controllable over networks such as the Internet, that are...
