Robotics:Designing the Mechanisms for Automated Machinery
Ben Zion Sandler

Book Description
At last a robotics design guide packed with fascinating examples and brilliant design ideas. Most robotics and automation books today emphasize the electrical and control aspects of design without any practical coverage of how to design and build the components, the machine, or the system. The author draws on his years of industrial design experience to show the reader the design process by focusing on the real, physical parts of robots and automated systems. Robotics, is an essential addition to the toolbox of any engineer or hobbyist involved in the design of any type of robot or automated mechanical system. It is the only book available that takes the reader through a step-by-step design process in this rapidly advancing specialty area of machine design. This book provides the professional engineer and student with important and detailed methods and examples of how to design the mechanical parts of robots and automated systems.

This book provides the professional engineer and student with important and detailed methods and examples of how to design the mechanical parts of robots and automated systems. Features: * Answers the questions: How are machines built? How do they work? How does one best approach the design process for a specific machine? * Thoroughly updated with new coverage of modern concepts and techniques, such as rapid modeling, automated assembly, parallel-driven robots, and mechatronic systems * Uses real-world examples and problems that every reader can understand without difficulty * Includes a large number of high-quality illustrations * Integrates self-study and homework problems into the text along with the solutions so that both the engineering professional and the student will find the text very useful
   
Illustrated Sourcebook of Mechanical Components
Robert O. Parmley, Linda Ludewig (Editor)

Synopsis
This sourcebook presents a full array of key machine elements used in a range of applications from gears, cams, pumps and washers to seals. A section on design formulas is also included.
   
Mechanical Devices for the Electronics Experimenter
McGraw-Hill/Tab Electronics;

Synopsis
This text provides hobbyist information on how to build, adapt and use all types of mechanical devices. The special emphasis is on electromechanical equipment that can be used to implement robotic designs. Pneumatic, hydraulic and vacuum devices are covered, as well as motors and solenoids.
