This first volume in the series is based on part of a course that I
taught in various state and private institutions during 1979 and
1980. It was concerned with the design and control of stationary,
articulated robots operating as non-feedback systems. This book
(which is devoted to the statement and understanding of problems
rather than their solution) presents a review of some of the work,
started in 1972, of the team involved with robotics and
biomechanics at the Automation Laboratory at Montpellier, in
association with the French National Centre for Scientific
Research. I am greatly indebted to Professor A. Liegeois, the
guiding light of the team, to A. Fournier, E. Dombre, W. Khalil, P.
Molinier and P. Borrel who have contributed so much to the progress
made in this field. The second volume will describe the present
state of the knowledge of robotic systems which are able to
perceive the environment, to a greater or lesser extent, and to
react appropriately. Such robots will be able to perform the
function required of them, in spite of unpredictable, limited
changes in the environment. The third volume will deal with
teleoperations, the branch of robotics characterized by the
necessary and almost permanent presence of a human operator at the
controls. The fourth volume will be concerned with technological
components of robots and further volumes will discuss robotic
languages and programming methods, decision autonomy and artificial
intelligence and, finally, the computer-aided design of robots.
