Summary:
Grasping in Robotics contains original contributions in the field of grasping in roboticswith a broad multidisciplinary approach. This gives the possibility of addressing all themajor issues related to robotized grasping, including milestones in grasping throughthe centuries, mechanical design issues, control issues, modelling achievements andissues, formulations and software for simulation purposes, sensors and vision integration,applications in industrial field and non-conventional applications (including servicerobotics and agriculture). The contributors to this book are experts in their own diverse and wide ranging fields.This multidisciplinary approach can help make Grasping in Robotics of interest to a verywide audience. In particular, it can be a useful reference book for researchers, studentsand users in the wide field of grasping in robotics from many different disciplinesincluding mechanical design, hardware design, control design, user interfaces, modelling,simulation, sensors and humanoid robotics. It could even be adopted as a referencetextbook in specific PhD courses.
