Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents)

Looking to dive into the fascinating world of mobile robotics? Look no further than the second edition of "Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots". This comprehensive book covers everything you need to know about mobile robotics, from algorithms to mechanisms. Whether you're a student or simply curious about the subject, this book offers a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of mobile robotics.

From the Mars Pathfinder mission's teleoperated Sojourner to the cleaning robots in the Paris Metro, mobile robots have become increasingly prevalent in our world. This book delves into the mechanical, motor, sensory, perceptual, and cognitive layers that make up the field of mobile robotics. Gain insights into the mechanisms that enable a mobile robot to navigate and perform tasks in real-world environments, including locomotion, sensing, localization, and motion planning.

Bringing together material from various fields such as kinematics, control theory, computer vision, and artificial intelligence, this book provides a holistic view of mobile robotics. It covers all aspects, including software and hardware design considerations, related technologies, and algorithmic techniques. Whether you're interested in the technical aspects or the broader applications of mobile robotics, this book has you covered.

In this second edition, the authors have added over 130 pages of new material, addressing topics such as locomotion, perception, localization, and planning and navigation. They have also included problem sets at the end of each chapter to reinforce your understanding of the concepts. This book can serve as a textbook for academic study or a practical tool for those starting their journey into the field of mobile robotics.

Excitingly, we are offering curriculum developed by Dr. Robert King and Dr. James Conrad to accompany the National Instruments LabVIEW Robotics Starter Kit. These 13 laboratory exercises provide hands-on experience in applying mobile robotics concepts using the LabVIEW Robotics Starter Kit. Take your learning to the next level with practical exercises designed by industry experts.
