Oxford University Press published my book Robotics: Fundamental Concepts and Analysis in 2006. Here is the Cover Page and here are the Contents.

There were several errors, typos and mistakes in the first print. Here is a List of Corrections. A second reprint has come out in May 2008 where almost all errors have been corrected.
