Robot Cognition and Navigation (eBook, PDF)

An Experiment with Mobile Robots

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this book the author employs a cybernetic view of robot cognition and perception as he examines mobile robot simulations, realizations and experiments, and explains the related mathematical models and algorithms. Chapters are dedicated to map building, path planning, navigation using genetic algorithms, and robot programming packages. Then detailed chapters examine the programs required for robot parameter display, gripper control, sonar reading display, teleoperation, autonomous navigation, image capture and 3D perception.

This book will be useful for students and engineers building intelligent robots, and researchers migrating to this field. The required source code is included in the book or available online.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "Robotics is mostly about experimentation, and Patnaik certainly offers the reader a book that contains quite a bid of it, with the help of code written in C++ and Java that can be readily downloaded from the publisher's site ... . I consider the book to be well written, addressed to undergraduate students in control sciences and experimental psychology, or some graduate students with a specialty in robotics. For the teacher or researcher, there is the package of aforementioned codes, and the references ... ." (Arturo Ortiz-Tapia, Computing Reviews, December, 2007)
