Summary
"The fourth edition of this invention-inspiring engineering resource covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. You'll find drawings and descriptions of more than 2000 components that have proven themselves over time and can be incorporated into the very latest mechanical, electromechanical, and mechatronic products and systems. Overviews of robotics, rapid prototyping, HEMS, and nanotechnology, along with tutorial chapters on the basics of mechanisms and motion control, will bring you up-to-speed quickly on these cutting-edge topics."--BOOK JACKET.
