The second edition of a comprehensive introduction to all aspects
of mobile robotics, from algorithms to mechanisms. Mobile robots
range from the Mars Pathfinder mission's teleoperated Sojourner to
the cleaning robots in the Paris Metro. This text offers students
and other interested readers an introduction to the fundamentals of
mobile robotics, spanning the mechanical, motor, sensory,
perceptual, and cognitive layers the field comprises. The text
focuses on mobility itself, offering an overview of the mechanisms
that allow a mobile robot to move through a real world environment
to perform its tasks, including locomotion, sensing, localization,
and motion planning. It synthesizes material from such fields as
kinematics, control theory, signal analysis, computer vision,
information theory, artificial intelligence, and probability
theory. The book presents the techniques and technology that enable
mobility in a series of interacting modules. Each chapter treats a
different aspect of mobility, as the book moves from low-level to
high-level details. It covers all aspects of mobile robotics,
including software and hardware design considerations, related
technologies, and algorithmic techniques. This second edition has
been revised and updated throughout, with 130 pages of new material
on such topics as locomotion, perception, localization, and
planning and navigation. Problem sets have been added at the end of
each chapter. Bringing together all aspects of mobile robotics into
one volume, Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots can serve as a
textbook or a working tool for beginning practitioners. Curriculum
developed by Dr. Robert King, Colorado School of Mines, and Dr.
James Conrad, University of North Carolina-Charlotte, to accompany
the National Instruments LabVIEW Robotics Starter Kit, are
available. Included are 13 (6 by Dr. King and 7 by Dr. Conrad)
laboratory exercises for using the LabVIEW Robotics Starter Kit to
teach mobile robotics concepts.
