Robotics 2000

摘要

Proceedings of Robotics 2000: Fourth International Conference and Exposition/Demonstration on Robotics for Challenging Situations and Environments, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, February 27-March 2, 2000. This collection contains 47 papers representing the latest advances from the alliance of researchers working on robotic technologies, and those seeking to apply these state-of-the-art technologies in a variety of challenging environments. These papers cover not only space applications but also applications in terrestrial inspection and maintenance, construction, the nuclear industry, environmental remediation, medicine, and manufacturing. Topics include: space operations, exploration, and construction; robotic excavation and construction; underwater, under-ice, and underground operations; operator control interfaces; human-robotic systems interaction, space medicine, and life support; path planning, navigation and control algorithms; robotic systems for planetary exploration.
