Description
Designing Autonomous Mobile Robots introduces the reader to the fundamental concepts of this complex field. The author addresses all the
pertinent topics of the electronic hardware and software of mobile robot design, with particular emphasis on the more difficult problems
of control, navigation, and sensor interfacing.
Covering topics such as advanced sensor fusion, control systems for a wide array of
application sensors and instrumentation, and fuzzy logic applications, this volume is essential reading for engineers undertaking robotics
projects as well as undergraduate and graduate students studying robotic engineering, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
Its state-of-the-art treatment of core concepts in mobile robotics helps and challenges readers in exploring new avenues in an exciting
field. The accompanying CD-ROM provides software routines for the examples cited as well as an electronic version of the text.
Audience
Engineers, programmers, students and advanced hobbyists involved in robotics applications and/or research.
