Designing the Mechanisms for Automated Machinery For engineers and technical students, this book explains how to approach and solve automatic manufacturing machine-design problems. The author details the methodology of the design process and provides the calculations needed to achieve proper results when applying the design to a real machine, as well as basic information on universal machine devices and the concepts on which they are based. Part I introduces the field of robotics, applications, and artificial intelligence. Part II investigates robot sensors, software, and hardware, as well as speech output. Part III deals with simple robotics projects.
Appendices offer background in electricity, electronics, and computers.
