Download or read book Sensing and Control for Autonomous Vehicles written by Thor I. Fossen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume includes thoroughly collected on sensing and control for autonomous vehicles. Guidance, navigation and motion control systems for autonomous vehicles are increasingly important in land-based, marine and aerial operations. Autonomous underwater vehicles may be used for pipeline inspection, light intervention work, underwater survey and collection of oceanographic/biological data. Autonomous unmanned aerial systems can be used in a large number of applications such as inspection, monitoring, data collection, surveillance, etc. At present, vehicles operate with limited autonomy and a minimum of intelligence. There is a growing interest for cooperative and coordinated multi-vehicle systems, real-time re-planning, robust autonomous navigation systems and robust autonomous control of vehicles. Unmanned vehicles with high levels of autonomy may be used for safe and efficient collection of environmental data, for assimilation of climate and environmental models and to complement global satellite systems. The target audience primarily comprises research experts in the field of control theory, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Related theorems and formal proofs are provided, as are real-life applications. The second edition includes updated and expanded exercise sets and problems. New coverage includes: components and mechanisms of a robotic system with actuators, sensors and controllers, along with updated and expanded material on kinematics. New coverage is also provided in sensing and control including position sensors, speed sensors and acceleration sensors. Students, researchers, and practicing engineers alike will appreciate this user-friendly presentation of a wealth of robotics topics, most notably orientation, velocity, and forward kinematics.
Download or read book Sensing Intelligence Motion written by Vladimir J. Lumelsky and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-11-28 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leap forward in the field of robotics Until now, most of the advances in robotics have taken place instructured environments. Scientists and engineers have designedhighly sophisticated robots, but most are still only able tooperate and move in predetermined, planned environments designedspecifically for the robots and typically at very high cost. Thisnew book takes robotics to the next level by setting forth thetheory and techniques needed to achieve robotic motion inunstructured environments. The ability to move and operate in anarbitrary, unplanned environment will lead to automating a widerange of new robotic tasks, such as patient care, toxic sitecleanup, and planetary exploration. The approach that opens the door for robots to handle unstructuredtasks is known as Sensing-Intelligence-Motion (SIM), which drawsfrom research in topology, computational complexity, controltheory, and sensing hardware. Using SIM as an underlyingfoundation, the author's carefully structured presentation isdesigned to: * Formulate the challenges of sensor-based motion planning and thenbuild a theoretical foundation for sensor-based motion planningstrategies * Investigate promising algorithmic strategies for mobile robotsand robot arm manipulators, in both cases addressing motionplanning for the whole robot body * Compare robot performance to human performance in sensor-basedmotion planning to gain better insight into the challenges of SIMand help build synergistic human-robot teams for tele-operationtasks. It is both exciting and encouraging to discover that robotperformance decisively exceeds human performance in certain tasksrequiring spatial reasoning, even when compared to trainedoperators * Review sensing hardware that is necessary to realize the SIMparadigm Some 200 illustrations, graphic sketches, and photos are includedto clarify key issues, develop and validate motion planningapproaches, and demonstrate full systems in operation. As the first book fully devoted to robot motion planning inunstructured environments, Sensing, Intelligence, Motion is amust-read for engineers, scientists, and researchers involved inrobotics. It will help them migrate robots from highly specializedapplications in factories to widespread use in society whereautonomous robot motion is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the dawn of the new millennium, robotics has undergone a major tra- formation in scope and dimensions. This expansion has been brought about bythematurityofthe?eldandtheadvancesinitsrelatedtechnologies.From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics has been rapidly expanding into the challenges of the human world. The new generation of robots is expected to safely and dependably co-habitat with humans in homes, workplaces, and communities,providingsupportinservices,entertainment,education,heal- care, manufacturing, and assistance. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the body of knowledge robotics has produced is revealing a much wider range of applications reaching across - verse research areas and scienti?c disciplines, such as: biomechanics, haptics, neurosciences, virtual simulation, animation, surgery, and sensor networks among others. In return, the challenges of the new emerging areas are pr- ing an abundant source of stimulation and insights for the ?eld of robotics. It is indeed at the intersection of disciplines that the most striking advances happen. The goal of the series of Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) is to bring, in a timely fashion, the latest advances and developments in robotics on the basis of their signi?cance and quality. It is our hope that the wider dissemination of research developments will stimulate more exchanges and collaborations among the research community and contribute to further advancement of this rapidly growing ?eld.
