<p><i>Introduction to Mobile Robot Control</i> provides a complete and concise study of modeling, control, and navigation methods for wheeled non-holonomic and omnidirectional mobile robots and manipulators. The book begins with a study of mobile robot drives and corresponding kinematic and dynamic models, and discusses the sensors used in mobile robotics. It then examines a variety of model-based, model-free, and vision-based controllers with unified proof of their stabilization and tracking performance, focusing on the problems of path, motion, and task planning, along with localization and mapping topics. The book provides a host of experimental results, a conceptual overview of systemic and software mobile robot control architectures, and a tour of the use of wheeled mobile robots and manipulators in industry and society.</p> <p><i>Introduction to Mobile Robot Control</i> is an essential reference, and is also a textbook suitable as a supplement for many university robotics courses. It is accessible to all and can be used as a reference for professionals and researchers in the mobile robotics field. </p><ul><li>Clearly and authoritatively presents mobile robot concepts</li><li>Richly illustrated throughout with figures and examples</li><li>Key concepts demonstrated with a host of experimental and simulation examples</li><li>No prior knowledge of the subject is required; each chapter commences with an introduction and background</li></ul>
