A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-11 Summary: Good starting book ... The cool thing about this book is that it is heavy on the Math based primarily on the research on mathematical theory in robotics(may I say at Caltech). Make sure you read up your advanced math books especially on manifold theory to get a better understanding as to what it all means. But overall, the math is fun and interesting. Highly recommend this book with Craig's introduction to robotics. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2005-03-01 Summary: a branch of applied maths ... For decades, physics and engineering undergraduates have used texts on classical mechanics that often contained what some students might consider to be abstruse ideas, with little everyday usage. But this book on robotics is a worthy rejoinder. It can be regarded as an advanced text in classical mechanics. It shows how mathematical treatments of rigid and non-rigid body rotations and displacements are necessary to correctly model robot manipulators. Plus how holonomic constraints can be used to determine system behaviour. ...more

Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation (Addison-Wesley Series in Computer Science)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-15 Summary: Very nice book ... I read this book from cover to cover, not because it was required by the Formal Languages course that I took, but because it is a very good read. This book gives all the necessary details in every theorem that it proves, which can be considered both a good and a bad thing, depending on your level of knowledge of the subject. I personally believe it is a good thing, because after reading any proof in this book you do not feel skeptical if it works or not, like it can be after reading a proof that skips lots of steps. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-25 Summary: The best theoretical computer science book out there. ... This book is a one stop solution to your theoretical computer science needs (at least, as an introduction). If you're interested in language theory, deterministic / non deterministic finite state automata design, grammars and regular languages, computational complexity (temporal and spatial complexity), this the book for you. The formal notation used in the book is not the heaviest ever seen for this kind of subject, so it remains comprehensible (assumed it's not your first exposition to this discipline). I found it ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-11 Summary: Advanced? First Edition Only of 1979 ... My first exposure to Automata Theory backs to 1992, as a senior undergrad textbook for that course, which was mandatory and a prerequisite to the Compilers Course. (No student could take them together unless Automata was repeated). Although I got the highest grade among over 80 students, but I was not getting enough comprehension from the class, as it should be. I admit it was due to the complexity and sophistication of that text, since this was the first course that 100% dedicated to computational theory; taking into ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Review | This book is a rigorous exposition of formal languages and models of computation, with an introduction to computational complexity.

Automata and Computability (Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-11-02 Summary: Rigorous, clear, and concise ... I started learning the theory of computation using Sipser's excellent textbook. The goal of his book is to show students "the big picture" of the area by explaining the materials in an intuitive manner. However, when I was reading the first two chapters of his book (i.e. on finite automata), often times I found myself asking questions like "why does this automaton recognize that language, as Sipser claimed?". Sometimes, Sipser gives only intuitive explanations to justify his claim, which in my opinion is not sufficient. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2000-12-04 Summary: Clear and Concise ... This book is an excellent introduction to the subject. There is also material that can be taught to students more advanced than the beginning undergraduate. We used this book for one half (roughly) of a first-year grad course on foundations of computer science. The greatest strengths of the book are (1) its exceptionally clear writing. (2) Excellent collection of problems (with hints and solutions to a subset of these). This book follows the "standard" approach to the introduction of notion of effective computability ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-04-04 Summary: Very good as a textbook ... This is the textbook I used for my Honors Introduction to Theory of Computing course which was taught by Kozen. This book is very well organized, each chapter corresponds exactly to one lecture, so it's almost like a collection of lecture notes in a sense. This book (and the course it's based on) provides a very good introduction to general theoretical aspects of computing. It's divided mainly into 3 sections, each covering a third of the course. First Finite Automata, then Context Free Languages and Pushdown Automata, ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The aim of this textbook is to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to the basic theoretical models of computability, and to develop some of the model's rich and varied structure. Students who have already some experience with elementary discrete mathematics will find this a well-paced first course. A number of supplementary chapters introduce more advanced concepts. The first part of the book is devoted to finite automata and their properties. Pushdown automata provide...more


Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-31 Summary: The definitive guide to computational geometry. ... When studying computer science, one will encounter a number of books. "The Dinosaur Book", Operating System Concepts (7th Edition), "The White Book", Introduction to Algorithms, "The Green Book", Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall Series in Artificial Intelligence), and a select few more. The best way to articulate my satisfaction with this material is to refer to it as "The Blue and Yellow Book." Each chapter is introduced with a problem. For example, "How would one install cameras ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-02-24 Summary: good source of many methods ... The authors amass an impressive array of algorithms related to finding geometrical properties. Where these algorithms are performed on a computer. The book itself does not advocate any particular programming language. The algorithms are given in pseudocode, and you are expected to manually convert these to code in your choice of language. Given the calibre of the discussion in the text, which suggests that the readers are quite experienced, then this manual step should be easy to most. There are numerous contexts in ...more

Cellular Automata Machines: A New Environment for Modeling (Scientific Computation)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 1999-09-01 Summary: Oh my god, what a book! ... This book is absolutely stunning. It's a little dated, but the classes of problems that Toffoli and Margolus attack with dirt-simple machines is completely astonishing. I guarantee that you will not be able to put it down -- which is odd to say about a computer book. Read it! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-12-17 Summary: buy for the ideas, not the implementation ... This is a terrific book that takes a step-by-step approach to cellular automata, especially for modelling. Within the first two chapters I had already found several interesting ideas for improving my own general-purpose automata program. The part of the book that is most dated is the discussion of a specific hardware card and software designed for IBM PCs and ATs, and a specific dialect of Forth that can be used to program automata that will run on this card. Obviously this is no longer the mainstream approach to programming ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-01-29 Summary: The best I've found on the subject - with a few caveats ... Of all of the books that delve into the details of cellular automata, the algorithms, and the kinds of problems you can solve with them, this is probably the best I've found. However, there are two major problems you will have to work around. First, there is the specialized and long defunct CAM computing environment. You simply have to not read the portions of the book that talk about it to get around this, and I found this a minor problem. A more major problem is that this old 1987 book is using Forth as a programming ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Recently, cellular automata machines with the size, speed, and flexibility for general experimentation at a moderate cost have become available to the scientific community. These machines provide a laboratory in which the ideas presented in this book can be tested and applied to the synthesis of a great variety of systems. Computer scientists and researchers interested in modeling and simulation as well as other scientists who do mathematical modeling will find this introduction to cellular...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-06-13 Summary: Excellent Background ... This book is extremely well written, easy to understand, and actually is the standard text for Computational Geometry classes, as far as I know. The only thing I didn't like about it was that there seemed to be a few errors in some of the pseudocode. But, it's to be expected when publishing a textbook, and I think it'll probably be cleared up in future editions. Overall, great book. I'd recommend it to anyone taking graphics or a computational geometry class. ...more

I teach a introductory course in robotics that is targeted for the senior/graduate level student in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering /Computer Science. The goal is to understand the kinematics, dynamics and ultimately the control of robotic manipulators. Unequivocally, this is one of the best books in introductory robotics! This book is not for the robotic tinkerer or the amateur, but for the engineer who is desirous of obtaining a sound understanding of the principles involved. In the past four years that I have ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-11 Summary: Great first book ... This was my favorite because it was easy to follow and understand basic robotics. Though some of the material is outdated, it still gives you a lot of insight into basic manipulator mathematics. But set your expectations right-you should not expect this book to teach you basic mathematics of rotational matrices. ...more

Professional Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-26 Summary: Thorough but not easy material to get through ... I have not yet completed reading this book though I have read the first few chapters. My first impression is that although this book is fairly thorough and comprehensive, it's not the easiest material to get through. The authors start with the CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Run-Time) and discuss it in such a way that it has nothing to do with robotics. Obviously, it makes sense as to why you would have a specialized set of components to handle concurrency, etc., but it helps to know how it fits in the big picture ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-08 Summary: Best book for the job ... Of the two textbooks available, Professional MRDS is an excellent reference book for those who need guidance with MRDS. The textbook has a plethora of examples that are easy to grasp and has an excellent code library (available from the website at no cost). In addition, the hands-on attitude of the authors make MRDS a pleasurable experience. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-24 Summary: Table of Contents ... This is not an actual review of the book since I am still waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to post the Table of Contents here to help out others since I did not see one from Amazon... Foreword. Introduction. Part I: Robotics Developer Studio Fundamentals. Chapter 1: Exploring Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. Chapter 2: Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR). Chapter 3: Decentralized Software Services (DSS). Chapter 4: Advanced Service Concepts. Part II: Simulations. Chapter 5: The MRDS Visual Simulation Environment. ...more

Probabilistic Robotics (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-09-08 Summary: Robot Navigation ... Uncertainty is an important issue facing intelligent systems. Thrun, Burgard, and Fox have made important contributions to this area of research. Probabilistic Robotics is a more narrowly focused text than the title might suggest. At 650 pages perhaps it could not be broader and yet do justice to the topics the authors want to cover. Perhaps the title should have been Probabilistic Robot Navigation. My other criticism would be the lack of executables ...more
