A March 2004 conference united researchers working on intelligent systems that can directly sense and act in their own environment without demanding detailed supervision from humans. Papers from the conference are presented here, in sections on biologically inspired systems, cooperative robotics, distributed decision making, learning and adaptive systems, mobile robot navigation, path and motion planning, reconfigurable/modular robots, robotic and autonomous systems, robot vision, sensing and data fusion, and service robotics. Some specific topics include the use of hybrid maps for mobile robots, bias-optimal incremental learning of control sequences for virtual robots, and a multi-segment inspection robot and its physical real-time simulation. There is no subject index. Annotation �2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Back Cover

Intelligent Autonomous systems are beginning to enter our daily life in ambient intelligence applications. These systems can directly sense and act in their own environment without demanding detailed supervision from humans. Many new challenges are emerging to create systems that can operate and interact in human inhabited environments. The goal of IAS 8 is to exchange and stimulate research ideas about how to bring active, intelligent systems into our daily lives. This publication contains an excellent selection of papers that shows the research of autonomous systems today. Subjects discussed are the designing of autonomous agents, Artificial Emotional Creatures and Multi-Robot Coordination in Highly Dynamic Environments.
