Features: The design of any successful robot involves the integration of multiple disciplines such as kinematics, signal processing, information theory, artificial intelligence, and probability theory. To this end, this book proposes technologies and manufacturing processes that enable mobility within a series of interactive modules. As the chapters progress, they cover various aspects of mobile robotics, including hardware design, wheel design, kinematic analysis, sensors, perception, localization, mapping, and robotic control architectures. This book synthesizes all aspects of mobile robots into a cohesive whole, making it suitable as a graduate textbook for automation and robotics programs in universities and colleges in China, as well as a reference for professionals in related fields.
