Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Our recent publications, ?CNC Robotics: Build Your Own Workshop Bot,? and ?Robot Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Illustrated,? have been doing extremely well since publication (May and June of 2003, respectively), and seem to be reaching this mid-level robotic crowd. With the proliferation of many types of robots in recent years, there is a real need to assist engineers, automation manufacturers, and robot aficionados in the proper selection, care, and feeding of a robot to achieve the maximum in productivity. This book does just that, along with classifying robots in accordance to their complexity and function provided. The book is perfect for large corporations as well as smaller ?Mom and Pop? shops who may be considering using robots to help their industrial applications.

Synopsis:

This detailed reference shows how to achieve maximum productivity with robotics, classifies robots according to their complexity and function, and explains how to avoid common automation mistakes.

I want also to add a suggestion. It is more better for the readers if you will not put a long explanations about the topics, 'coz it can be bore for the readers . This is only a suggestion. But not all taken in a long explanations.
