TL;DR: Taking an interdisciplinary approach to robotics, this new book covers such topics as robot technology, robot programming, applications, machine vision, artificial intelligence, and related social considerations.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
Taking an interdisciplinary approach to robotics,this new book covers such topics as robot technology,robot programming,applications,machine vision,artificial intelligence,and related social considerations. One of the first such volumes designed specifically as a textbook,it differs from the strictly professional robotics book in its use of learning aids. Example problems,case studies,and end-of-chapter exercises serve to reinforce important concepts.

TL;DR: From the quantity and quality of the content of the curriculum the authors can see that the discipline is potentially large, and is based upon solid theoretical grounds, and there is potential for robotics to emerge as a separate academic discipline within the next decade.

TL;DR: A new three-pincer end-effector configuration that provides a high degree of versatility with its ability to conform to the shape of the object that it grasps is described.
Abstract: In this paper the description of an educational robot that has been designed and advanced in the Robotic Teaching and Research Laboratory at this university is given. Special emphases are made to describe a new three-pincer end-effector configuration that provides a high degree of versatility with its ability to conform to the shape of the object that it grasps. This design eliminates the need for the "roll" degree of freedom at the wrist joint and requires a very simple control scheme for its applications.
