Robots were programmed to perform specific tasks in highly structured environments. However, the past decade has witnessed a paradigm shift fuelled by advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly in areas like deep learning and reinforcement learning. We have moved from programming robots to learning robots. This book is the definitive guide for researchers, engineers, and graduate students who want to design robots that see, think, and act with unprecedented autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a rigorous yet accessible foundation in robot kinematics, dynamics, and learning paradigms.
