Programming Mobile Robots with Aria and Player provides a
comprehensive guide to creating object-oriented C++ programs for
robots using the Player and Aria APIs within a Linux environment. A
basic knowledge of object-oriented techniques is assumed, but the
text is written in a user-friendly style, and is equally suitable
for researchers with previous experience of robot control, or for
students completely new to the field. The book is fully supported
throughout with examples, diagrams, sample programs, and
configuration files. MobileRobot s Pioneers are used as vehicles
throughout the book, but most of the techniques and programs that
are demonstrated for Player are directly applicable to the wide
number of other makes and models that the API supports. In
addition, the Aria section is also appropriate for other robots
made by MobileRobots.
The book discusses how to install the various pieces of software
needed and also describes how to:
configure robots;
control robots remotely;
program each individual sensor and actuator; and
set up and control robots, in both the real world and in a
simulated environment (either through Player s Stage plug-in or
Aria s MobileSim simulator).
Programming Mobile Robots with Aria and Player serves as a
complete text for undergraduate and postgraduate robotics
programming modules, and is also an invaluable reference source for
students, teachers and researchers."
