Robotics is the interdisciplinary field dedicated to the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, programmable machines capable of complex automated tasks. It integrates mechanical engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering to create robots that can sense their environment, make decisions, and perform actions to assist or substitute humans in various applications, from industrial manufacturing to hazardous environments and even the healthcare sector.
Vol. 1 Essentials of Robotics
Essentials of Robotics forms as the first volume of Encyclopedia of Robotics: (3 Volume Set). It discusses the underlying concepts used in designing and building a robot, and to make it work. The book assumes some familiarity with the mathematics taught in any engineering or science curriculum in the first 2 years of college. Familiarity with elementary mechanics is helpful, but not essential, for the elements of this science needed to understand the mechanics of robotic systems.
Vol. 2 The Robotics Challenges
The Robotics Challenges forms as the 2nd volume of Encyclopedia of Robotics: (3 Volume Set). It discusses the most up-to-date information on seminal developments in the technology of robotics, as well as covering the social, political, and technical impacts of those developments on everyday life, both now and in the future. This book serves as both a comprehensive, standalone introduction to robot technology and an excellent starting point and companion for more detailed personal investigations.
Vol. 3 Robotics: The New Technology
Robotics involves the design, construction, and operation of autonomous or semi-autonomous machines to perform tasks, with artificial intelligence (AI) enabling increasingly complex and adaptive behaviors. Recent advancements in AI, robotics trends like Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS), and new technologies such as 3D printed soft robotics are expanding their use beyond traditional manufacturing to healthcare, logistics, and exploration, enhancing efficiency, safety, and capability in various industries.
