It is a privilege to be asked to introduce this important work.
Such a book has long been needed. Industrial manipulators and
robots have caught the attention of the general public and become
very fashionable in the last few years. The casual reader of
current newspapers and magazit: les or the viewer of television and
films might easily conclude that the development of mechanical
hands, arms and legs or other mobility devices has progressed
rapidly in only the last few years. Most people are unaware of the
gradual orderly succession of creative designs and painstaking
refinements which have been produced over a greater number of
years. That story is carefully described in this volume, together
with diagrams and photographs which document in detail this elegant
phase in the history of machine design. This volume together with
Volume 3A constitute the most complete and comprehensive work on
manipulators and teleoperators. Jean Vertut and Philippe Coiffet
are well known not only as authors but also as engineers who have
produced some of the finest devices in the world. Of course for the
complete history of manipulators and teleoperators one must look
back to the artisans who crafted the delightful clock works,
mechanical puppets and toys before and during the Renaissance."
