Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and illustrative applications, J. Norberto Pires covers robotics programming as it applies to:
- The current industrial robotic equipment including manipulators, control systems, and programming environments.
- Software interfaces that can be used to develop distributed industrial manufacturing cells and techniques which can be used to build interfaces between robots and computers.
- Real-world applications with examples designed and implemented recently in the lab.
This book is supported by a website http://robotics.dem.uc.pt/indrobprog that includes software code for the examples presented, various software applications developed by the author and videos of all examples presented and discussed.
