Computational Principles of Mobile Robotics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational vision, and traditional robotics. Written for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in computer science and engineering, the book covers algorithms for a range of strategies for locomotion, sensing, and reasoning. The new edition includes recent advances in robotics and intelligent machines, including coverage of human-robot interaction, robot ethics, and the application of advanced AI techniques to end-to-end robot control and specific computational tasks. This book also provides support for a number of algorithms using ROS 2, and includes a review of critical mathematical material and an extensive list of sample problems. 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.

Rezensionen

'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.'
