Illustrated with simulations, exercises and examples, this book describes the fundamentals of modeling robots, developing the actuator concepts, sensor, control and guidance. Three-dimensional simulation tools are also explored, as well as the theoretical basis for reliable localization of robots within their environment.
- Illustrates simulation, corrected exercises and examples
- Explores different tools and methods to enable you to design mobile robots
- Features three-dimensional simulation tools as well as the theoretical explanation
Researchers and practitioners working on Robotics, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Control Engineering.
