This open access book bridges the gap between playing with robots
in school and studying robotics at the upper undergraduate and
graduate levels to prepare for careers in industry and research.
Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only
mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students,
such as calculus, matrices and probability. Concepts and algorithms
are explained through detailed diagrams and calculations. Elements
of Robotics presents an overview of different types of robots and
the components used to build robots, but focuses on robotic
algorithms: simple algorithms like odometry and feedback control,
as well as algorithms for advanced topics like localization,
mapping, image processing, machine learning and swarm robotics.
These algorithms are demonstrated in simplified contexts that
enable detailed computations to be performed and feasible
activities to be posed. Students who study these simplified
demonstrations will be well prepared for advanced study of
robotics. The algorithms are presented at a relatively abstract
level, not tied to any specific robot. Instead a generic robot is
defined that uses elements common to most educational robots:
differential drive with two motors, proximity sensors and some
method of displaying output to the user. The theory is supplemented
with over 100 activities, most of which can be successfully
implemented using inexpensive educational robots. Activities that
require more computation can be programmed on a computer. Archives
are available with suggested implementations for the Thymio robot
and standalone programs in Python.
