Introduction to the mechanics of space robots / Mechanics of space robots Space robots Giancarlo Genta. - Dordrecht [Netherlands] ; New York : Springer, c2012. - xxi, 597 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - Space technology library ; 26 . - Space technology library ; v. 26. .
"Based on lecture notes on a space robotics course, this book offers a pedagogical introduction to the mechanics of space robots. After presenting an overview of the environments and conditions space robots have to work in, the author discusses a variety of manipulatory devices robots may use to perform their tasks"--Back cover.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [585]-588) and index.
Introduction -- Space and planetary environment -- Manipulatory devices -- Mobility on planetary surfaces -- Wheeled vehicles and rovers -- Non-wheeled vehicles and rovers -- Actuators and sensors -- Power systems -- Appendix A: Equations of motion in the configuration and state spaces -- Appendix B: Equations of motion for continuous systems.
