Synopsis

This book is an introduction to the foundations and methods used for designing completely autonomous mobile robots. Readers are introduced to the fundamental concepts of mobile robotics via twelve detailed case studies which show how to build and program real working robots. The book provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics for a general scientific audience, and is essential reading for practitioners and students working in robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot engineering.

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The book is an admirable introduction to its modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought. ... Like its first edition, this is an important and thought-provoking book." (Alex M. Andrew, Robotica, Vol. 22 (347), 2004)

"Mobile Robotics: A Practical Introduction (2nd edition) is an excellent introduction to the foundations and methods used for designing completely autonomous mobile robots. ... provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics for a general scientific audience. It is essential reading for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students and postgraduate students studying robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot engineering. ... is an admirable introduction to this modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought." (Alex M. Andrew, Artificial Life & Robotics, Vol. 7 (4), 2004)
