Motion Control Systems / Wiley - IEEE (PDF)

Motion Control Systems is concerned with design methods that
support the never-ending requirements for faster and more accurate
control of mechanical motion. The book presents material that is
fundamental, yet at the same time discusses the solution of complex
problems in motion control systems. Methods presented in the book
are based on the authors' original research results. Mathematical
complexities are kept to a required minimum so that practicing
engineers as well as students with a limited background in control
may use the book. It is unique in presenting know-how accumulated
through work on very diverse problems into a comprehensive unified
approach suitable for application in high demanding, high-tech
products. Major issues covered include motion control ranging from
simple trajectory tracking and force control, to topics related to
haptics, bilateral control with and without delay in measurement
and control channels, as well as control of nonredundant and
redundant multibody systems.

Motion Control Systemsis an ideal textbook for a course
on motion control or as a reference for post-graduates and
researchers in robotics and mechatronics. Researchers and
practicing engineers will also find the techniques helpful in
designing mechanical motion systems.
