This book is uniquely designed for a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the robotic grasping and fixturing (RGF) from the multifingered robot hand grasp, humanoid robot hand and basic fixture design principle, and evaluating and planning of robotic grasping/ fixturing. It also focuses on the modeling and applications of the RGF.Three new chapters are added in this edition to cover the relevant basic theories of grasping feature analysis and the new principles of robotic ...

This book presents the latest researches on hypersonic steady glide dynamics and guidance, including the concept of steady glide reentry trajectory and the stability of its regular perturbation solutions, trajectory damping control technique for hypersonic glide reentry, singular perturbation guidance of hypersonic glide reentry, trajectory optimization based on steady glide, linear pseudospectral generalized nominal effort miss distance guidance, analytical entry guidance and trajectory-s...
