DESCRIPTION:
The book is written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering, and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot hobbyists and researchers.. This book presents a unique examination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with Embedded Systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), Mobile Robot Design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and Mobile Robot Applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation)
"It's good but not essential" according to Sean Curtin. A good general coverage.This book is a good overview of robotics design and development. My main dissapointment with it was the focus on the controller which is a commercial unit you would need to purchase in order to use the code contained in the book. The unit is expensive to say the least for what it is and I found myself deciding that I would simply adapt what I could to my own controllers and treat the volume as a general overview.I did like it's chapter on multi-directional wheels and some of the code showed some straight forward ways of going about robot routine programming.Overall though the book is not going to be overly u

… In the reviewer’s opinion, this book is suitable as a textbook for a laboratory class on robotics. Undergraduate and graduate students and researchers interested in embedded robotics will find it useful and rich in valuable material." (Gianluca Antonelli, SIAM Review, Vol. students … . is very well organized and it-is-written-in-a-pleasantly concise style. … The book might also be of interest to Ph.D. … presents most of the practical aspects related to the design and control of an autonomous robot. From the reviews of the second edition: "This book provides an interesting overview on embedded robotics. 49 (3), 2007)
