Le CAO en robotique is a technical reference that explores the application of computer‑aided design tools and methodologies in the field of robotics. Published in June 1998 by Hermes Science, the paperback spans 383 pages and presents both theoretical foundations and practical techniques for integrating CAD systems into robotic design and manufacturing processes. The work is aimed at engineers, researchers, and students who seek to understand how digital modeling, simulation, and design automation can improve the development of robotic mechanisms and systems. Written in French, the book combines clear explanations with illustrative examples, making it a useful resource for those looking to bridge the gap between design software and robotic engineering. Although published in the late 1990s, its core concepts remain relevant for understanding the evolution of CAD‑driven robotics.
