    Series in Automation - Vol. 1

    AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS
    Vehicles with Cognitive Control

    by A Meystel (Drexel Univ.)

    This book explores a new rapidly developing area of robotics. It describes the state of the art in intelligence control, applied machine intelligence, and research and initial stages of manufacturing autonomous mobile robots. A complete account of the theoretical and experimental results obtained during the last two decades together with some generalizations on Autonomous Mobile Systems are included in this book.
     
    Contents:
    • Intelligent Motion Control: An Introduction
    • Evolution of Autonomous Mobile Robots
    • Elementary Concepts of Autonomous Mobility: Problems and Technical Requirements
    • Basic Theory of Cognitive Control
    • Structure of Cognitive Controller for an Autonomous Mobile Robot
    • Nested Hierarchical Controller for Cognitive AMR
    • Planner
    • Navigator
    • Pilot
    • Cartographer
    • Actuation Control System
    • Simulation and Testing
     
    Readership: Manufacturers and users of robots, researchers in unmanned operations.
     
    “Although the AMR area is quite complex and of an interdisciplinary nature the author provides a systematic, complete and clear treatment, which is expected to be very useful to R&D engineers in their design, manufacturing, and testing work of AMRs, as well as to graduate students and academic workers. From an educational point of view, the book can be used to several advanced courses in robotics, and as a supplement to introductory courses in intelligent control. University, departmental and other institutional or industrial libraries should get a copy of this excellent book.”
