Mechanics of Terrestrial Locomotion With a Focus on Non-pedal Motion Systems

From the reviews:

“This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students looking for an introduction to the field of mobile robots from a mechanics and control perspective.” (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 30, June, 2010)

“This book covers specific aspects of mechanics and control theory for terrestrial locomotion systems. … the book combines various approaches and could be useful to students and engineers as a reference and textbook.” (Alexander Mikhailovich Kovalev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1217, 2011)
