The study of robots has received a considerable amount of attention in the past two decades. The term“robot” was mentioned in the literature as early as the 1920’s. It was, however, not until the late 1970’s that acommunity of scholars dedicated in this subject emerged. The field of robotics is unique in that it incorporatesmultiple disciplines: specialties include computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,physics, and mathematics, to name a few. Due to this interdisciplinary nature, constructing a robot requiresunderstanding of various facets of the aforementioned areas of expertise. By the early 80’s the technology had matured enough to produce robots with reasonable size, weight,and capability. Robots can now
