Robotics Books for Engineers: Find Your "Bible

[Simas]

Hi,

I am a mechanical engineer and I want to learn more about Robotics. Can you please recommend me some (academic) books?
Are there some books seen as "the bible" for robotic engineers or books that "any robotics engineer should have"?

Thank you very much in advance!

Springer Handbook of Robotics 2e edited by Bruno Siciliano and Oussama Khatib is the closest I'm aware of as a relatively comprehensive reference.

You'll also want two or more regular textbooks or digital resources at your level, but choosing those is more a matter of taste.
