Reinforcement Learning of Bimanual Robot Skills
Author: Adrià Colomé, Carme Torras

This book prospects all the stages and mechanisms involved in the learning of manipulation tasks by bimanual robots in unstructured settings. The first part of the book describes how to build an integrated system, capable of properly handling the kinematics and dynamics of the robot along the learning process. 'Reinforcement Learning of Bimanual Robot Skills' also offers practical enhancements to closed-loop inverse kinematics for redundant robots, a procedure to position the two arms to maximize workspace manipulability, and a dynamic model together with a disturbance observer to achieve compliant control and safe robot behavior.

Making Simple Robots: Exploring Cutting-Edge Robotics with Everyday Stuff
Author: Kathy Ceceri

The book is based on the idea that anyone can build a robot. If someone is curious enough, no matter what he knows about robots, he still can build something using his everyday stuff. It is quite understandable for everyone. This book will help people move beyond the basic craft skills and materials to the latest products and tools being used by artists and inventors. Through this book, readers can learn – making an inflatable robot, programming a rag doll that blinks its cyborg's eye, making a swarm of gliding Vibrobots, building a solar beam Wobbleboat, making their own chatbot program, making a Fibrebot, an E-textile Arduino robot and building a plotter robot.

Introduction to AI Robotics
Author: Robin R. Murphy

This book is a comprehensive survey of AI algorithms and programming organization for robot systems, combining theoretical rigor and practical applications. Readers who have thoroughly understood the covered topics will be able to design and evaluate an artificially intelligent robot for applications involving sensing, acting, planning, and learning.

Robot Modeling and Control
Author: Mark W. Spong, Seth Hutchinson, M. Vidyasagar

This book is for those who are studying or working in the field of robotics. It offers a thoroughly updated introduction to robotics. The book follows a step-by-step computational approach to help people derive and compute the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, and Jacobians for the most common robot designs. This book provides detailed coverage of vision and visual servo control that enables people to program robots to manipulate objects sensed by cameras. Readers will learn about – mathematical modeling of robots, mechanical aspects of robots, common kinematic arrangements, rigid motions and homogenous transformation, forward and inverse kinematics, velocity kinematics, path and trajectory planning, multivariable control, geometric non-linear control, and vision-based control.
