The rapid development of the field of robotics and the continuous emergence of new research areas have led me to recommend this set of “Robot Handbook, 2nd Edition” consists of three volumes, covering the basics of robotics, robotics technology, and robotics applications.This book gathers the collective wisdom of numerous active scientists and researchers, fully reflecting the unique comprehensive reference material of both foundational and cutting-edge developments in the discipline. Since its publication, the handbook has been very successful and has received widespread acclaim in the industry. New researchers are continually attracted to robotics technology, contributing beneficially to the further development of this interdisciplinary field.The entire handbook consists of a total of 7 parts and 80 chapters, written by 229 authors, spanning over 2300 pages, including 1375 illustrations and 9411 references. It has consistently been a bestseller among all engineering books published by Springer, ranking first in chapter download rates (nearly 40,000 annually). In 2011, it ranked fourth among all Springer book downloads. In February 2009, the handbook was awarded the PROSE Award for Outstanding Physical Science and Mathematics by the Association of American Publishers (AAP), as well as the Engineering & Technology Award.Volume 1: Basics of Robotics

Volume 1 of the “Robot Handbook” (2nd Edition) is divided into two parts::Basics of Robotics and Robotics Design.Part 1 The Basics of Robotics primarily introduces the fundamental principles and methods used for the modeling, design, and control of robotic systems, including topics such as kinematics, dynamics, mechanisms and drives, sensing and estimation, model identification, motion planning, motion control, force control, redundant robots, robots with flexible elements, robotic architectures and programming, behavior-based systems, artificial intelligence reasoning methods for robots, and robot learning. These topics form the foundation for subsequent chapters and are expanded upon and applied to specific robotic systems.Part 2 Robotics Design mainly discusses topics related to the design and modeling of actual physical models of robots, elaborating on both robot design and performance evaluation, and introducing various issues related to the design, modeling, motion planning, and control of physical implementations, including limb systems, parallel mechanisms, robotic hands, snake-like robots, continuum robots, soft robots, modular robots, bionic robots, wheeled robots, underwater robots, flying robots, and micro-nano robots. The themes covered in this part are not only essential for constructing actual physical models of robots but are also crucial for generating and controlling robotic actions, as well as for operating in the intended manner.
