Stephen Bruder, Kevin Wedeward · Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing · 2007
Attempting to convey concepts and ideas in the subject area of robotic manipulators from within the confines of a static two-dimensional printed page can prove quite challenging to even the most gifted of authors. The inherently dynamic and multi-dimensional nature of the subject matter seems better suited to a medium of conveyance wherein a student is allowed to interactively explore topics in this multi-disciplinary field. This article describes the initial development of an online robotics course textbook which seeks to leverage recent advances in Web-based technologies to enhance the learning experience in ways not possible with printed materials
