Introduction to Mobile Robots Navigation

Abstract

This book offers students and robotic researchers an introduction to the fundamentals of mobile robot navigation and path planning in various environments using different Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The text focuses an overview of the mechanism and different techniques that allow a mobile robot to move in a real world environment to perform tasks including locomotion, sensing, localisation, and path planning. It covers all aspects of mobile robotics concepts and technology, their design considerations and algorithmic techniques. Mobile Robots Navigation an up-to-date, comprehensive book that presents the detailed exposition of the concepts using a simple and students-friendly approach. The illustrations, case studies and exercises make this book are an unique offering that is a must have for both students and teachers alike.
