This open access book introduces key concepts in robotics in an
easy to understand language using an engaging project-based
approach. It covers contemporary topics in robotics, providing an
accessible entry point to fundamentals in all the major domains. A
section is dedicated to introducing programming concepts using
Python, which has become a language of choice in robotics and AI.
The book also introduces the reader to the Robot Operating System
(ROS), the ubiquitous software and algorithmic framework used by
researchers and the industry. The book provides an inspired,
up-to-date and multidisciplinary introduction to robotics in its
many forms, including emerging topics related to robotics on
Machine Learning, ethics, Human-Robot Interaction, and Design
Thinking. The book also includes interviews with industry experts,
providing an additional layer of insight into the world of
robotics. The book is made open access through the generous support
from Kinova Robotics. The book is suitable as an undergraduate
textbook in a relevant engineering course. It is also suitable for
students in art and design, high school students, and self-learners
who would like to explore foundational concepts in robotics. "This
book provides the 'foundation' for understanding how robots work.
It is the accessible introduction that artists and engineers have
been waiting for." - Ken Goldberg, William S. Floyd Jr.
Distinguished Chair in Engineering, UC Berkeley.
