Introduction to Robotics in CIM Systems by James A Rehg

Introduction to Robotics in CIM Systems by James A Rehg

Featuring a balance of theory and application techniques, this introduction to robotics shows how to design and build a robot-driven automated work cell. It does not address robots in an isolated manner, but rather explores the broad topic of industrial work cells that contain a robot.

James A. Rehg, CMfgE, is an associate professor of engineering at Penn State-Altoona. He earned a BS and MS in electrical engineering from St. Louis University and has completed additional graduate work at Wentworth Institute, University of Missouri, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and Clemson University.
