自20世纪50年代第一台现代机器人诞生以来，机器人技术在各个方面都得到了迅速发展;机器人一词（来自捷克语，意为苦差事）现在适用于各种各样的创造物，从固定在工厂地板上的机械四肢到具有类似人类能力的计算机驱动的两足动物。但是，创造“机械人”来执行平凡、重复甚至复杂的人类任务的冲动几乎与文明本身一样古老。古希腊人建造了自动机，埃及人和日本人也是如此。列奥纳多达芬奇设计了机器人，娱乐机器人在18世纪的欧洲风靡一时。《机器人进化》在机器人文学中是独一无二的，它既是机器人的全面历史，又是机器人设计、设备和系统的技术指南。机器人专家Mark E. Rosheim回顾并描述了机器人机制的范围，从古代到最先进的，从关节，夹具和执行器等子组件到配备人工智能，传感器和自主移动的完全集成系统。Rosheim记录了这些系统的发展和日益复杂的情况，使用人体部位的运动学作为评估机器人组件运动学的框架，并解释了这些组件如何用于模拟人类运动。特别强调的是放在最先进的电流器件和有前途的实验设计。辅以数百张照片，图纸和插图表格，机器人进化是写在一个明确的，直率的风格和组织，以提供快速，方便地访问信息。单独的章节专门介绍机器人手臂，手腕，手和腿，每一章都包含几种不同的设计方法来解决同一问题或组件的例子。沿着详细讨论了每种设计的优点和缺点，以及每种设备的首选应用和特定功能。带注释的围兜
From the Publisher:
Since the creation of the first modern robots in the 1950s, robotics has developed rapidly and in diverse directions; the term robot (from the Czech word for drudgery) now applies to a spectrum of creations, from mechanical limbs bolted to factory floors to computer-driven bipeds with human-like capabilities. But the urge to create "mechanical men" to perform mundane, repetitive, and even complex human tasks is nearly as old as civilization itself. The ancient Greeks built automata, as did the Egyptians and the Japanese. Leonardo da Vinci designed mechanical men, and entertainment robots were all the rage in eighteenth-century Europe. Robot Evolution is unique in robotics literature, at once a comprehensive pictorial history of robots and a technical guide to robot designs, devices, and systems. Author and robot expert Mark E. Rosheim reviews and describes the gamut of robot mechanisms, from ancient to state-of-the-art, from subcomponents such as joints, grippers, and actuators to completely integrated systems equipped with artificial intelligence, sensors, and autonomous mobility. Rosheim chronicles the development and increasing complexity of these systems, using the kinesiology of human body parts as a framework for evaluating the kinematics of robotic components and explaining how these components are used to emulate human motion. Particular emphasis is placed on the most advanced current devices and promising experimental designs. Supplemented with hundreds of photographs, drawings, and illustrated tables, Robot Evolution is written in a clear, forthright style and organized to provide quick and easy access to information. Separate chapters are devoted to robot arms, wrists, hands, and legs, and each chapter contains examples of several different design approaches to the same problem or component. The advantages and disadvantages of each design are discussed in detail along with preferred applications and specific functions of each device. An annotated bib
