This book considers the manufacturing and assembly of robots from a systems-oriented perspective, presenting robotics as an integration of mechanical design, control engineering, and intelligent functionality. It explores how robotic platforms are conceptualised, constructed, and configured to operate across diverse industrial and service environments. The narrative reflects on the coordination of components such as actuators, sensors, and control units, emphasising the importance of precision, modularity, and reliability in assembly processes. It also examines how robotic systems are tailored for specific tasks, from mobility and manipulation to collaborative interaction with human operators. Attention is given to production frameworks that support flexibility and scalability, where manufacturing systems must adapt to evolving technological demands and application requirements.
The book highlights the broader transformation of manufacturing through the adoption of robotic systems, where automation enhances productivity and operational efficiency. It offers insight into design considerations, system integration, and the practical realities of deploying robots within modern industries, making it valuable for students, engineers, and professionals engaged in robotics and advanced manufacturing
