About this title

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The book is an admirable introduction to its modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought. ... Like its first edition, this is an important and thought-provoking book." (Alex M. Andrew, Robotica, Vol. 22 (347), 2004)

"Mobile Robotics: A Practical Introduction (2nd edition) is an excellent introduction to the foundations and methods used for designing completely autonomous mobile robots. ... provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics for a general scientific audience. It is essential reading for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students and postgraduate students studying robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot engineering. ... is an admirable introduction to this modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought." (Alex M. Andrew, Artificial Life & Robotics, Vol. 7 (4), 2004)

 

Synopsis

An introduction to the foundations and methods used for designing completely autonomous mobile robots. In this text the reader is introduced to the fundamental concepts of this complex field via 12 detailed case studies which show how to build and program real working robots. This book provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics for a general scientific audience, and should be useful reading for final year undergraduate students and postgraduate students studying robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot engineering. Its update and overview of core concepts in mobile robotics will assist and encourage practitioners of the field, and set challenges to explore new avenues of research.
