Offers a step-by-step guide to building autonomous vehicles and
robots, with source code and accompanying videos The first book of
its kind on the detailed steps for creating an autonomous vehicle
or robot, this book provides an overview of the technology and
introduction of the key elements involved in developing autonomous
vehicles, and offers an excellent introduction to the basics for
someone new to the topic of autonomous vehicles and the innovative,
modular-based engineering approach called DragonFly. Engineering
Autonomous Vehicles and Robots: The DragonFly Modular-based
Approach covers everything that technical professionals need to
know about: CAN bus, chassis, sonars, radars, GNSS, computer
vision, localization, perception, motion planning, and more.
Particularly, it covers Computer Vision for active perception and
localization, as well as mapping and motion planning. The book
offers several case studies on the building of an autonomous
passenger pod, bus, and vending robot. It features a large amount
of supplementary material, including the standard protocol and
sample codes for chassis, sonar, and radar. GPSD protocol/NMEA
protocol and GPS deployment methods are also provided. Most
importantly, readers will learn the philosophy behind the DragonFly
modular-based design approach, which empowers readers to design and
build their own autonomous vehicles and robots with flexibility and
affordability. Offers progressive guidance on building autonomous
vehicles and robots Provides detailed steps and codes to create an
autonomous machine, at affordable cost, and with a modular approach
Written by one of the pioneers in the field building autonomous
vehicles Includes case studies, source code, and state-of-the art
research results Accompanied by a website with supplementary
material, including sample code for chassis/sonar/radar; GPS
deployment methods; Vision Calibration methods Engineering
Autonomous Vehicles and Robots is an excellent book for students,
researchers, and practitioners in the field of autonomous vehicles
and robots.
