From the reviews: "This is a relatively compact, but yet detailed, book on modeling and analysis of 'tree-type' robotic systems. ... Although the authors have prepared a concise, readable description of rather specialized topics, the reviewer believes the work is better suited for developmental researchers and engineers ... . The book quality, the illustrations, and the editing are all excellent." (Ronald L. Huston, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1264, 2013)
