About the Author
Frank C. Park received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985, and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University, Massachusetts in 1991. He has been on the faculty at University of California, Irvine and since 1995 he has been Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Seoul National University. His research interests are in robot mechanics, planning and control, vision and image processing, and related areas of applied mathematics. He has been an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Robotics and Automation Society Distinguished Lecturer and has held adjunct faculty positions at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York, the Interactive Computing Department at Georgia Institute of Technology and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Robotics Institute. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics, and developer of the EDX course Robot Mechanics and Control I, II.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lie algebras FTW
The first part of the book is one of the most memorable things I've read in recent times. I loved seeing applications of algebra and topology applied to the single bar linkage problem, this book was responsible for reinvigorating my interest in abstract algebra, topology and category theory.The final few chapters are weaker, they try to cover concepts like SLAM or PID controllers which is good and all but it feels like a side dish to the core idea of the book: "Better algebraic structures means better algorithms"
5.0 out of 5 stars A book for the serious roboticist.
This book studies the formulation of robotics (kinematics, dynamics and control) through modern screw theory. It is a must-read for any serious roboticist.I think it is well written and challenging. Support material can be found in the author's website (where you can also, legally, download a pdf of it; but I do prefer the hard-cover paper book) and a course in EdX, by Frank Park, as well as course in Coursera, by Peter Lynch, are based on it.I would recommend it for senior year or first year grad school.
5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
5.0 out of 5 stars The most approachable textbook in Robotics in my opinion.
Great textbook, very easy to follow.
5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly the book I needed
Look around online; a sightly older PDF version is available. However, having the physical copy makes studying and absorbing the material much more effective.
1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good textbook
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).

Don't bother if you are a private learner
This book is intended to be used as part of a university course, where you have an instructor on hand to either lead you through the exercises or mark them / show you where you went wrong. This essential means of learning will be available to you to make the most of the money you spent on this book. If this is you, fine, buy it.If you are learning on your own, or even on the coursera version, then this book will be of precious little use to you if you want to do worked examples. The reason for this is Cambridge Press and the author do not trust undergraduates not to cheat, and instructors apparently repeat the book exercises wholesale as tests, and so the solutions to exercises are locked behind a faculty login. If you email Cambridge, they will ignore you. If you are doing the coursera version then what you have is a vastly cut down version of the exercises in the form of quizzes.There is a set of different exercises you can download and work through, but these do not always cover the same ground as the book and in many places feature mistakes. I remember when I was at university some decade and a half ago, books that did not provide solutions were reviled by student and lecturer alike. This ridiculous practice had started to be phased out, but here it is again.Stick to the free pre-print if you are a lone learner, its much better value for money. You still won't have any answers but at least you won't have spent £45 to find that out.
Good but assumed knowledge required
A good textbook to explore, a good uni textbook that has examples to study from. It shows you how to approach robotic problems systematically.However, this textbook is not recommended if you are new to the field, robotics or mechatronics are big topics and there is a lot of assumed knowledge, and most time trust me you will need guidance on your side.If you are a science student with good logical thinking, and you are good at self-studying, such that you can easily acquire knowledge from reading, and in the process, you can determine what else you need to learn and learn it in a short time. Then this book could be an interesting journey for you.

Software is NOT included as advertised - "accompanying software"
What more is there to say, it's a misleading listing so I don't know how good the book could have been, if the software would be relevant to the review. Software is NOT included as advertised - "accompanying software".I contacted the publisher and the school and bother were nice enough to not respond. Don't buy this book if you want any useful examples to be provided, or if you expect any moral responsibility in that they will provide what is advertised. Shameful.
