Springer Handbook of Robotics by Bruno Siciliano

The second edition of the handbook, edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support of an outstanding team of seven part editors and more than 200 authors, continues to be an authoritative reference for robotics researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related disciplines. The first edition of the handbook soon became a landmark in robotics publishing and won the American Association of Publishers PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization's Award for Engineering & Technology. The ongoing vibrant expansion and strong growth of the field during the last decade has fueled this second edition of the Springer Handbook of Robotics. The credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic developments that established robotics as a modern scientific discipline.

Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains. The second edition of this handbook provides a state-of-the-art overview on the various aspects in the rapidly developing field of robotics.
