"... The book is suitable for all students, researchers, and practicing engineers interested in the field of robotics as an overview of current research activities. It is as comprehensive as it can be in a field, in which possible applications, mathematical methodologies, control architectures, and mechanical designs vary as much as it is the case in robotics."
