Introduction (Bruno Siciliano, Oussama Khatib)Part A: Robotics Foundations (David Orin)Part A presents the fundamental principles and methods that are used to model, design, and control a robotic system. All of the foundational topics are included in this part: kinematics, dynamics, mechanical design and actuation, sensing and estimation, motion planning, motion control, force control, robotic systems architectures and programming, and AI reasoning methods for task planning and learning. A chapter is devoted to each of these topics. The topics are expanded and applied to specific robotic structures and systems in subsequent parts.Chap. 1. Kinematics (Ken Waldron, James Schmiedeler)Chap. 2. Dynamics (Roy Featherstone, David Orin)Chap. 3. Mechanisms and Actuation (Victor Scheinman, Michael McCarthy)Chap. 4.

AI Reasoning Methods for Robotics (Joachim Hertzberg, Raja Chatila)Part B: Robot Structures (Frank Park)Part B is concerned with the design, modeling, motion planning, and control of the actual physical realizations of a robot. Some of the more obvious mechanical structures that come to mind are arms, legs, and hands; to this list can be added wheeled vehicles and platforms, and robot structures at the micro and nano scales. With separate chapters devoted to performance criteria and model identification, the chapters in this part successively examine serial redundant mechanisms, parallel mechanisms, flexible robots, robot hands, robot legs, wheeled robots, and micro- and nanoscale robots.Chap. 10. Performance Evaluation and Design Criteria (Jorge Angeles, Frank Park)Chap. 11. Redundant Manipulators (Stefano Chiaverini, Giuseppe Oriolo, Ian Walker)Chap. 12.

Wheeled Robots (Guy Campion, Woojin Chung)Chap. 18. Micro/Nano Robots (Brad Nelson, Lixin Dong, Fumihito Arai)Part C: Sensing and Perception (Henrik Christensen)Part C covers different sensory modalities and integration of sensor data across space and time to generate models of robots and the external environment. The main sensor types such as tactile, odometry, GPS, ranging and visual perception are presented. Both basic sensor models, sensor data processing and associated representations are covered. Finally, a chapter on sensor fusion itroduces the mathematical tools needed for integration of sensor information across space and time.Chap. 19.

Visual Servoing and Visual Tracking (François Chaumette, Seth Hutchinson)Chap. 25. Sensor Fusion (Hugh Durrant-Whyte, Tom Henderson)Part D: Manipulation and Interfaces (Makoto Kaneko)Part D is separated into two subparts. The first half is concerned with manipulation where frameworks of modeling, motion planning, and control of grasp and manipulation of an object are addressed, and the second half is concerned with interfaces where physical human-robot interactions are handled.Chap. 26. Motion for Manipulation Tasks (Oliver Brock, James Kuffner, Jing Xiao)Chap. 27. Modelling and Manipulation (Imin Kao, Kevin Lynch, Joel Burdick)Chap. 28. Grasping (Jeff Trinkle, Domenico Prattichizzo)Chap. 29. Cooperative Manipulators (Fabrizio Caccavale, Masaru Uchiyama)Chap. 30. Haptics (Blake Hannaford, Allison Okamura)Chap. 31.

Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation (Hami Kazerooni)Part E: Mobile and Distributed Robotics (Raja Chatila)Part E Mobile and Distributed Robotics, covers a wide span. The topics address motion planning and control of wheeled robots with kinematic constraints, perception and world modeling, simultaneous localization and mapping, and the integration of those capacities in a control architecture, as a mobile robot is actually the paradigm of a complex integrated system. In addition, multirobot interaction and systems are developed, including modular and reconfigurable robots as well as networked robotics.Chap. 34.
