Replace every use of "V-REP" with "CoppeliaSim." There is one reference to V-REP in the Preface and one in Figure 1.1; those may be the only uses.

			Printed Version Errata, February 3, 2022
	The errata below are for the [[Modern_Robotics\|'''updated first edition of ''Modern Robotics'' ''']] (as well as the practice exercises and linear algebra refresher appendix). The updated first edition (also called "version 2") was originally published by Cambridge University Press in late 2019 (marked "3rd printing 2019" or later) and the corresponding online preprint is dated December 2019. The updated first edition includes several corrections and minor additions to the original first edition, which was originally published by Cambridge in May 2017, with a corresponding online preprint dated May 2017.

=== Chapter 3 ===

* (printed version only) At the end of the introduction Exercise 3.16, it says "origin of {b} is at (0,2,0) is {s}", but "is {s}" should be "in {s}".
* Exercise 3.20, Figure 3.26: In the figure, the y and z axes for the {a}, {b}, and {c} frames are switched (y should point forward and z should point up). Also, the space frame is located at the bottom of the small wheel, directly below the {a} frame.

=== Chapter 4 ===

* Exercise 4.21: The question should begin "For each <math>T</math> below..." instead of "For each <math>T \in SE(3)</math> below...". (Since the first part of the problem is determining whether <math>T</math> is indeed an element of <math>SE(3)</math>.

=== Chapter 8 ===

* (printed version only) Equation (8.74): the first two plus signs should be minus signs.

=== Chapter 10 ===

* Second displayed equation of Chapter 10.6.3 (Workspace Potential): As it is written, this equation (which involves a partial derivative with respect to the robot's configuration <math>q</math>) already gives the repulsive generalized force <math>F_{ij}(q)</math>, i.e., the Jacobian is already embedded, obviating the subsequent development. To fit the rest of the development, the partial derivative in this equation should be with respect to <math>f_i(q)</math>. So the equation should read:
<math>
F^\prime_{ij}(q) = -\frac{\partial P^\prime_{ij}}{\partial f_i(q)} = \frac{k}{\|f_i(q) - c_j\|^4} (f_i(q) - c_j) \in \mathbb{R}^3.
</math>

=== Chapter 11 ===

* The one-sentence paragraph near the beginning of Chapter 11.3.3, after Equation (11.16): Change "As in Section 11.3.2 ... where <math>k_p, k_i > 0</math>." should be changed to "The diagonal entries of the diagonal gain matrices <math>K_p, K_i \in \mathbb{R}^{6 \times 6}</math> should be positive." (Currently it says that these matrices shold have the form <math>k_p I</math> and <math>k_i I</math>, but the units for a twist are different (first three units are angular velocities, last three units are linear velocities). So you may wish to use one positive value for the top three elements on the diagonal and a different positive value for the bottom three elements on the diagonal.)
* Chapter 11.5, Equations (11.52) and (11.53) (and nearby text): The term <math>K_{fp}</math> in Equations (11.52) and (11.53) should be <math>(K_{fp}+I)</math>. (<math>I</math> is the identity matrix.) In the text immediately after Equation (11.51), the term "positive-definite" should be eliminated. In the text immediately after Equation (11.53), <math>K_{fp}</math> should be replaced by <math>(K_{fp}+I)</math>.

* Figure 2.9 (left): the bold segment of the line should not extend beyond the closing parenthesis at b.

* Proposition 3.10: "satisifies" should be "satisfies"

=== Chapter 5 ===

* Chapter 5.3, Case V: For maximum clarity, the title should be "Case V: Six Revolute Joint Axes Intersecting a Common Line." Similarly, fifth bullet of Chapter 5.5: item (v) on the list should say "six revolute joint axes intersecting..." instead of just "six revolute joints intersecting..."
