Robotic Mechanical Systems Fundamentals
"Robotic Mechanical Systems Fundamentals" serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the core principles and technological intricacies of robotic systems in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. We offer an in-depth exploration of the mechanical foundations that drive the design, control, and functionality of robots, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals. Our journey begins with a thorough examination of the fundamental concepts and historical developments that shape robotics. Readers will gain insights into the dynamics of robotic systems through the Newton-Euler equations, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the Lagrange formulation, which offers a powerful framework for analyzing robot motion. Focusing on dynamic modeling, we provide a detailed look at the mechanisms governing the behavior of manipulators, emphasizing the complexities involved in designing and controlling robotic arms. Additionally, we address control forces and torques, highlighting strategies to ensure precision and efficiency in robotic actions. With a holistic approach that considers the ethical and societal implications of robotics, "Robotic Mechanical Systems Fundamentals" balances theoretical foundations with practical applications, making it accessible for beginners and valuable for seasoned professionals. Authored by experts, our book equips readers to navigate the fascinating world of robotics, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the technologies that shape our future.
Little Brains Matter
This accessible guide introduces neuroscience, demystifying terminology and language and increasing the knowledge, skills and, importantly, confidence of anyone interested in brain development in early childhood. Practical and reflective chapters highlight the multi-faceted role of adults as ‘brain builders’ and encourage the reader to consider how the environment, play and interactions are crucially interlinked. The book considers cutting-edge science and introduces this in an accessible way to look at a range of ways that adults can support children, exploring: how poverty, adversity, and social, emotional and mental health all influence the developing child the science behind play, and why it is so important for young children how we can take ideas from different disciplines such as psychology and anthropology and interweave these with the overarching research of neuroscience why adult interaction (both practitioner and parent/carer) with children is crucial for the developing brain the importance of reflective practice to encourage readers to consider their actions and develop their understanding of important topics raised in the book. With a wealth of case studies and reflective practices weaving throughout, readers will be encouraged and empowered to pause and consider their own practice. Little Brains Matter will be essential reading for anyone interested in early childhood development.
