What to read after Springer Handbook of Robotics?

Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains. Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic developments that established robotics as a modern scientific discipline.
The successful Springer Handbook of Robotics assembles in its second edition a thoroughly comprehensive and well-structured compilation of classic and emerging application areas of robotics. From the technical foundations to the social and ethical implications of robotics, the handbook provides a comprehensive collection of the accomplishments in the field, and constitutes a premise of further advances towards new challenges in robotics.
This 2nd edition of the award winning Springer Handbook, edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support of an outstanding team of seven part editors and two hundred twenty-eight authors, is an authoritative reference for robotics researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related disciplines such as biomechanics, neurosciences, virtual simulation, animation, surgery, and sensor networks among others. The online version contains links to videos supplementing the chapters.
The First Editon was a Winner of the AAP PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization’s Award for Engineering & Technology
