The second edition of this handbook provides a state-of-the-art
overview on the various aspects in the rapidly developing field of
robotics. Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously
engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains.
Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation
of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The
credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of
the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic
developments that established robotics as a modern scientific
discipline. The ongoing vibrant expansion and strong growth of the
field during the last decade has fueled this second edition of the
Springer Handbook of Robotics. The first edition of the handbook
soon became a landmark in robotics publishing and won the American
Association of Publishers PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical
Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization's Award for
Engineering & Technology. The second edition of the handbook,
edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support
of an outstanding team of seven part editors and more than 200
authors, continues to be an authoritative reference for robotics
researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related
disciplines. The contents have been restructured to achieve four
main objectives: the enlargement of foundational topics for
robotics, the enlightenment of design of various types of robotic
systems, the extension of the treatment on robots moving in the
environment, and the enrichment of advanced robotics applications.
Further to an extensive update, fifteen new chapters have been
introduced on emerging topics, and a new generation of authors have
joined the handbook's team. A novel addition to the second edition
is a comprehensive collection of multimedia references to more than
700 videos, which bring valuable insight into the contents. The
videos can be viewed directly augmented into the text with a
smartphone or tablet using a unique and specially designed app.
