Synopsis "INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS: An Engineering Textbook on Robot Kinematics, Motion Control, Programming, Vision, End Effectors, Collaborative Robots, and Robot Cell Safety Under CSA Z434:26 and ISO 10218"
Industrial robots are now ordinary equipment in Canadian plants, but the knowledge to design, program, and safeguard them is still scattered across manuals, vendor courses, and standards most people never read. Textbooks on the subject are either expensive and written before the 2025 revision of ISO 10218 and the April 2026 publication of CSA Z434:26, or short guides tied to one manufacturer's robots. This book is a complete, vendor-neutral engineering course that connects the mathematics of robot motion with the practice of building safe, productive robot cells in Canada. Inside, you will learn how to: Describe position and orientation with frames, rotation matrices, quaternions, and homogeneous transformations Solve forward and inverse kinematics, compute the Jacobian, and recognize and avoid singularities Size payloads, joints, reducers, and drives with robot dynamics, and understand servo control and trajectory planning Select grippers, vacuum and magnetic tools, force sensors, and machine vision for robot guidance Program robots from the teach pendant, integrate them with machines and plant networks, and plan offline with simulation and ROS 2 Apply CSA Z434:26 and ISO 10218 to risk assessment, safeguarding, safety distances, and safety-rated functions Design collaborative applications with power and force limiting and speed and separation monitoring Engineer welding, painting, handling, machine tending, and assembly cells, then justify, commission, and maintain them Twenty chapters move from foundations to motion, to tooling and sensing, to programming and integration, to safety and applications. Every chapter opens with learning objectives, every section includes a photograph of the equipment discussed, and 66 worked designs show complete reasoning with real numbers, from the kinematics of a six-axis teaching robot to a light curtain safety distance, a fillet weld travel speed, and the payback of a machine-tending cell. Seventeen program listings, in Python and in neutral and vendor robot languages, reproduce the calculations. Appendices on mathematics, symbols, standards, and units, a glossary, references, and an index make it a lasting reference. It is written for college and university students in robotics, mechatronics, and manufacturing engineering technology, and for technologists, integrators, and maintenance technicians who work with robot cells. It is an educational text and does not replace the purchased standards, manufacturer training, or the regulations that apply where you work. Understand industrial robots from the equations to the shop floor, and build cells that are productive and safe.
