Applications of Computational Intelligence to Robotics and Autonomous Systems

Abstract

This chapter discusses the application of computational intelligence in the field of autonomous mobile robotics. The chapter is focused on basic concepts of computational intelligence in robotic domain with an emphasis on essential aspects of navigation such as localization, path planing, and obstacle avoidance both on single and swarm robots. The chapter reviews recently published studies on these aspects aiming to highlight the recent trends on the field. In addition, the applications of navigation and motion planning on robotic arms, haptic devices, humanoid robots, and robotic hands are discussed.
