## Description

Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control [Lynch, Kevin M., Park, Frank C.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control

Review: Full of useful examples and explanations - Good book. Lots of useful example problems. Goes over many methods of defining kinematic chains and manipulation problems etc. DH parameters are a section in the appendix but still covered well. The free accompanying online class is also nice for review or extra instruction. Recommended for both undergrad and grad level kinematics/controls/dynamics.
Review: This book is a great source for the mechanics of robotics - Every concept is explained clearly and in detail with plenty of worked out examples. There are other books for vision and sensors in robotics. Bur for the mechanics of robot motion control this is worth its weight in gold and yet it is free online. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of useful examples and explanations

Good book. Lots of useful example problems. Goes over many methods of defining kinematic chains and manipulation problems etc. DH parameters are a section in the appendix but still covered well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a great source for the mechanics of robotics
*by C***E on September 6, 2020*

Every concept is explained clearly and in detail with plenty of worked out examples. There are other books for vision and sensors in robotics. Bur for the mechanics of robot motion control this is worth its weight in gold and yet it is free online. Highly recommended.

### ⭐ Not a good textbook
*by J***Y on April 28, 2023*

This is a poorly written textbook. There are few if any examples in the textbook. There are no solutions to any of problems. How exactly is someone supposed to learn without that type of information? You can download the PDF online for free. The videos on YouTube from the author are much more informative than anything contained in the textbook. The way the pages are printed in the book make it difficult to read half of the left page (see photo).
