Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
""Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators" serves well as the main textbook for a semester robot manipulator course…This volume has taken robotics, key elements of automation, to the next level. Both novice and expert readers can benefit from this timely addition to robotics literature… [the authors] have earned and deserve our congratulations."Automatica 37 (2001) 1679 – 1687  (Reviewers: Marco de Oliveira and Mo Jamshidi) "The book has an excellent balance of practical and advanced material (explanations, examples and problems) that take the introductory student to the level that useful research or applications can begin."Wayne Book, Georgia Institute of Technology "Because of its modern treatment and its excellent breadth, "Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators" is the required text for our core course in the Robotics Ph.D. Program."Matt Mason, Carnegie Mellon University "Sciavicco and Sicilliano’s book achieves a good balance between simplicity and rigour. It is a comprehensive and excellent reference on robotic manipulators, with easy-to-follow notation and figures, lots of examples and a complete bibliography. I strongly recommend it!"Tim Salcudean, University of British Columbia "This is the ultimate reference book in robotics, perfectly balanced between educational scopes and introductory research."Alessandro De Luca, Universita di Roma "La Sapienza"
