Significant corrections

Chapter 5

  • Equation (5.7): The second term on the right-hand side of the equation should be Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle J_{s2}(\theta ){\dot {\theta }}_{2}} .

Chapter 6

  • Chapter 6.3, first line after Eq (6.7): the matrices Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle T_{sd}^{-1} \dot{T}_{sd}} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \dot{T}_{sd} T_{sd}^{-1}} are referred to as twists, but these are the se(3) matrix representations of the twists.

Minor typos, etc., no danger of misunderstanding

Chapter 1

  • (online version only) Description of Chapter 6: "jont positions" should be "joint positions."

Chapter 2

  • Chapter 2.2.2, Example 2.3: "Substituting" is misspelled.

Chapter 6

  • (online version only) Figure 6.7: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta_0} should be Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta^0} (five times) and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta_1} should be Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta^1} (one time).

Chapter 7

  • Just below caption for Figure 7.8: There is an extraneous dot.

Chapter 8

  • (online version only) Chapter 8.1.1, last paragraph: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \dot{\theta}_1} is improperly typeset.
