Description:

Designing Autonomous Mobile Robots introduces the reader to the fundamental
concepts of this complex field. The author addresses all the pertinent topics
of the electronic hardware and software of mobile robot design, with
particular emphasis on the more difficult problems of control, navigation, and
sensor interfacing. Covering topics such as advanced sensor fusion,
control systems for a wide array of application sensors and instrumentation,
and fuzzy logic applications, this volume is essential reading for engineers
undertaking robotics projects as well as undergraduate and graduate students
studying robotic engineering, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
Its state-of-the-art treatment of core concepts in mobile robotics helps and
challenges readers in exploring new avenues in an exciting field. The
accompanying CD-ROM provides software routines for the examples cited as well
as an electronic version of the text.
