Abstract
This chapter introduces a number of robot platforms and relevant devices to be used throughout this book, from the mobile robot to humanoid robots and collaborative robots, as well as various haptic devices. These modern robots introduced in the chapter provide a state-of-the-art platform for human–robot interactive tasks. Meanwhile, a number of popular software toolkits in robot simulation are also introduced in this chapter, such as the OpenHaptics toolkit for haptic devices, the MATLAB Robotics Toolbox, Gazebo, and CoppeliaSim. These devices and toolkits are used in robotics studies, as they provide ideal means to design and test new robot control and learning algorithms.
