      abstract = {This book investigates in detail cutting-edge technologies  of underactuated manipulator control, which is a frontier  topic in robotics that possesses great significance in  energy conservation as well as fault tolerance for  industrial applications. It is also the crucial technology  associated with systems in special environments, including  underwater or aerospace environments. So far, the topic of  underactuated manipulator control has attracted engineers  and scientists from various disciplines, such as applied  physics, material, automation and robotics. Pursuing a  holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental  framework for this topic, while emphasizing the importance  of design and optimization in the control of underactuated  manipulators. Chapters of the book cover a wide variety of  manipulator systems, including vertical underactuated  manipulator, planar underactuated manipulator with  first-order nonholonomic constraint, planar underactuated  manipulator with second-order nonholonomic constraint and  flexible underactuated manipulator. The book is intended  for undergraduate and graduate students that are interested  in underactuated manipulators, researchers that investigate  the design and optimization for controllers of  underactuated manipulators and engineers working with  underactuated systems.},
