The book concludes with a glossary in English, French and German. This volume is supplementary reading for courses in robotics or industrial robotics and requires minimal knowledge of physics and mathematics UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-90-481-3776-3 ER -
