Recenzje

'This is a book on robotic hand grasping from new view points. Different from other books on grasping, this book concretely explains the equilibrium grasp, the immobilizing grasp and the caging grasp. In addition, I have never seen a book discussing the equilibrium stance of legged robots in relation to the equilibrium grasp. Classical topics on grasping mechanics are also covered in this book.'
