Biologically Inspired Series-Parallel Hybrid Robots: Design, Analysis, and Control Kumar, Shivesh (Researcher and Team leader, Mechanics and Control team, Robotics Innovation Center, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH), Bremen, Germany)

Biologically Inspired Series-Parallel Hybrid Robots: Design, Analysis and Control provides an extensive review of the state-of-the-art in series-parallel hybrid robots covering all aspects of their mechatronics system design.

The book highlights the modular and distributed aspects in their mechanical, electronics and software design. It presents case studies on various famous series-parallel hybrid robots which will inspire new robot developers.

It also introduces various modern methods for modelling the kinematics and dynamics of complex robots. These methods are also introduced in the form of algorithms or pseudo-code which can be easily programmed with modern day programming languages.

This book will be especially useful for academic and industry researchers in this exciting field, as well as graduate-level students to bring them up to speed with the latest technology in mechanical design and control aspects of the area.
