A comprehensive introduction to the field of autonomous robotics aimed at upper-level undergraduates and offering additional online resources.

Textbooks that provide a broad algorithmic perspective on the mechanics and dynamics of robots almost unfailingly serve students at the graduate level. Introduction to Autonomous Robots offers a much-needed resource for teaching third- and fourth-year undergraduates the computational fundamentals behind the design and control of autonomous robots. The authors use a class-tested and accessible approach to present progressive, step-by-step development concepts, alongside a wide range of real-world examples and fundamental concepts in mechanisms, sensing and actuation, computation, and uncertainty. Throughout, the authors balance the impact of hardware (mechanism, sensor, actuator) and software (algorithms) in teaching robot autonomy.

Features:

  • Rigorous and tested in the classroom
  • Written for engineering and computer scienceundergraduates with a sophomore-levelunderstanding of linear algebra, probability theory, trigonometry, and statistics
  • QR codes in the text guide readers toonline lecture videos and animations
  • Topics include: basic concepts in roboticmechanisms like locomotion and grasping, plus the resulting forces;operation principles of sensors and actuators; basic algorithms for visionand feature detection; an introduction to artificial neural networks,including convolutional and recurrent variants
  • Extensive appendices focus on project-basedcurricula, pertinent areas of mathematics, backpropagation, writing aresearch paper, and other topics
  • A growing library of exercises in anopen-source, platform-independent simulation (Webots)
