This introductory text treats the following subjects: the basic
characteristics of industrial robot mechanisms; the pose and movement
of an object, which are described by homogenous transformation matrices;
a geometric model of robot mechanism; a short introduction into
kinematics and dynamics of robots; robot sensors and the planning of
robot trajectories; basic control schemes resulting in either desired
end-effector trajectory or force; robot grippers and feeding devices,
which are described together with the basics of robot vision;
the planning of robot assembly; and finally, robot standards and safety
are briefly dealt with. The book concludes with a glossary in English,
French and German.

This volume is supplementary reading for courses in robotics or
industrial robotics and requires minimal knowledge of physics and
mathematics.
