Series Editors' Foreword
The topics ofcontrol engineering and signal processing continue to flourish and de
velop. Incommonwithgeneralscientific investigation,new ideas,conceptsand inter
pretationsemergequitespontaneouslyandthesearethendiscussed,used,discardedor
subsumedinto theprevailingsubjectparadigm. Sometimesthese innovativeconcepts
coalesce into a new sub-discipline within the broad subject tapestry ofcontrol and
signal processing. This preliminarybattlebetweenold and new usually takes placeat
conferences, through the Internet and in the journals ofthe discipline. After a little
more maturity has been acquired by the new concepts then archival publication as a
scientificorengineeringmonographmay occur.
A new concept in control and signal processing is known to have arrived when
sufficient material has developed for the topic to be taught as a specialised tutorial
workshop or as a course to undergraduates, graduates or industrial engineers. The
AdvancedTextbooks in ControlandSignalProcessing Series isdesigned as a vehicle
forthesystematicpresentationofcoursematerialforbothpopularandinnovativetopics
in thediscipline. Itis hopedthatprospectiveauthors will welcomethe opportunityto
publishastructuredpresentationofeitherexistingsubjectareasorsomeofthe newer
emergingcontroland signal processingtechnologies.
TheauthorsLorenzoSciaviccoand BrunoSicilianodeclare thatrobotics is more
than fifteen years old and is a young subject! Yet, this textbook shows that a well
establishedparadigmofclassicalrobotics exists and the bookprovidesan invaluable
presentation ofthe subject. TheSeries is fortunate in beingable to welcome this text
as asecond edition. Thus it is an updated text which has benefited from the authors'
teaching practiceand an awareness ofvery recentdevelopments in the field. Notable
in thissense is the inclusionofmaterialon vision sensorsand trajectory planning.
As a course textbook, the authors have explained how various chapters may be
drawntogethertoformacourse.Further,thebookissupportedbyaSolutionsManual.
Last, but not least we ought to mention three very substantial Appendices giving
useful supplementary material on the necessary mathematics, rigid body dynamics
andfeedbackcontrol.Afine newaddition to theSeries!

Preface to the Second Edition
The subject matter ofthis textbook is to be considered well assessed in the classical
robotics literature, in spite ofthe fact that robotics is generally regarded as a young
science.
Akey featureoftheFirstEdition wasrecognizedto bethe blendoftechnological
andinnovativeaspects with thefoundations ofmodellingandcontrolofrobotmanip
ulators. The purpose ofthis Second Edition with the new Publisher is to add some
material thatwas notcoveredbeforeas wellas tostreamlineand improvesomeofthe
previousmaterial.
The majoradditions regardChapter2 on kinematics; namely, the use ofthe unit
quaterniontodescribemanipulator'send-effectororientationasaneffectivealternative
to Eulerangles orangle and axis representations(Section 2.6), and the adoption ofa
closed chain in the design ofmanipulator structures (Sections 2.8.3 and 2.9.2). Not
only are these topics analyzed in the framework ofkinematics, butalso their impact
on differential kinematics, statics, dynamics and control is illustrated. In particular,
different types of orientation error are discussed for inverse kinematics algorithms
(Section 3.7.3), and the conceptofkineto-staticsduality is extended to manipulators
having a closed chain (Section 3.8.3). Yet, the dynamic model of a parallelogram
arm (Section 4.3.3)clearly shows the potential ofsuchdesign overthe kinematically
equivalent two-link planar arm. Further, the problem ofplanning a trajectory in the
operationalspaceisexpandedto encompassthedifferentdescriptionsofend-effector
orientation(Section5.3.3),andtheimplicationsforoperationalspacecontrolarebriefly
discussed (Section6.6.3).
Another addition regards the presentation ofthe main features ofvision sensors
(Section 8.3.4) which have lately been receivingquite adeal ofattention notonly in
research butalsoin theindustrialcommunity.
Finally, the bibliography has been updated with more reference texts in the in
troduction (Chapter 1) as well as with those references that have been used in the
preparationofthe new material (Chapters2to 8). New problemshavebeen proposed
and theSolutionsManualaccompanyingthebookhasbeen integratedaccordingly.
