Features: Special robots are advanced robots used in non-manufacturing industries to serve humans, excluding industrial robots. They can be described as mechanical and electronic devices with perception, decision-making, and action functions. This book categorizes special robots used to replace humans in various hazardous or harsh environments into five types: ground mobile robots, underwater robots, low-altitude flying robots, space robots, and micro-robots (including micro-manipulation), and introduces the stereoscopic vision systems commonly used in special robots. It provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of the basic principles, key technologies, and applications of these five types of special robots, offering a comprehensive reflection of the latest advancements in domestic and international research and applications of special robots. The book features novel content, strong logical structure, both popular and practical aspects, and a certain depth, complemented by illustrations and diagrams, making it highly readable. It is particularly suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics, Automation, and related fields in higher education institutions. It can also be used as a reference or resource for scientists, engineers, and technicians engaged in research, development, and application of robots and automation.
