This textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students emphasizes algorithms for a range of strategies for locomotion, sensing, and reasoning. It concentrates on wheeled and legged mobile robots but discusses a variety of other propulsion systems. This edition includes advances in robotics and intelligent machines over the ten years prior to publication, including significant coverage of SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and multi-robot systems. It includes additional mathematical background and an extensive list of sample problems. Various mathematical techniques that were assumed in the first edition are now briefly introduced in appendices at the end of the text to make the book more self-contained. Researchers as well as students in the field of mobile robotics will appreciate this comprehensive treatment of state-of-the-art methods and key technologies.

'... a good synthesis of robotics for computer science people, and is a useful tool for approaching the area.' Computing Reviews
'This book is an indispensable tool for any - both pre-university and university - course on mobile robotics. In relation to the first edition, this current one has been sufficiently updated. I recommend this book to researchers - particularly those who study localization or mapping - and doctoral students who are interested in investigating the latest approaches and techniques in the mobile robotics field.'
