Re: Manipulator designs

I have a pretty good grasp of the basic principles involved. What I'm looking for is a bunch of solutions to this problem that other people have used. I may be knowledgable to tell a good design from a bad one, but that doesn't mean I could come up with one.

I would recommend Building Robot Mechanisms. It's nothing but solutions. Almost everything related to robotics is in that book. It includes (usually) easy to understand picures of how the devices works. A whole chapter is devoted to arms designs and the differnces between the three designs. Also Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook I heard is an excellent book but I am not sure if there would be any information on the specific field you are looking for. I just came back from taking a look at the copy at the library and huge is a whee bit of an understatement. The edition that I had wasn't the latest one which contained a chapter on robotics but still the amount of information is vast.
