Robotics is an enormous field. This book is heavily steered towards kinematics (ie how stuff moves). There's another book on their recommended list which details how to drive motors and use sensors. That doesn't begin to cover machine vision for perception and navigation, general control theory, or the sorts of algorithms in probabilistic robotics. Let alone machine learning!
If you want a fairly all-inclusive reference, look at the Springer Handbook of Robotics. You'll need a pickup truck to carry it home though. It's more an encyclopaedia than a textbook, but it is surprisingly comprehensive.
Also, most robots don't use reinforcement learning (and most people don't have a basement full of robot arms learning to grasp things). That's a nice research area, but in practice it's not needed for a lot of tasks.
