DESCRIPTION:
It covers both the underlying theory and methods, ranging from mechanical design over architectures, control, and perception to current applications. Now he has drawn upon his extensive store of knowledge to produce a startlingly complete account of the major questions, progress, and future directions for this increasingly economically important area of research. No one else could have produced such a tour de force with such authority. George Bekey has quietly been a moving force behind much of autonomous robotics research for the last 20 years.

W Boudville said timely survey of moving robots. MIT is one of the key centres of robotics and it is no surprise that this text hails from it. Bekey provides a timely survey (circa "timely survey of moving robots" according to W Boudville. MIT is one of the key centres of robotics and it is no surprise that this text hails from it. Bekey provides a timely survey (circa 2005) of the state of autonomous robotics. He mentions some robots which have become commercially available recently, like Sony's Aibo, or . 005) of the state of autonomous robotics. He mentions some robots which have become commercially available recently, like Sony's Aibo, or . "Great overview" according to James H. McDuffie. This is a broad brush overview of autonomous robotics. It covers a lot of ground and the depth is not great. But it is an outstanding introduction for just about anybody interested in autonomous robotics. To me it is interesting that the book takes such a biological appr. Arthur A. REYES said Very nice overview, introduction, & survey, but not enough engineering details. Yes, this book provides a fine overview. I need to get the essential information to supervise development of autonomous mobile robots by a team of engineering seniors. This book does not provide me with enough technical information to know the essential abstractions, mat
He also discusses robot control issues and the design of control architectures.After an overview of the field that introduces some of its fundamental concepts, the book presents background material on hardware, control (from both biological and engineering perspectives), software architecture, and robot intelligence. He surveys the hardware implementations of more than 300 current systems, reviews some of their application areas, and examines the underlying technology, including control, architectures, learning, manipulation, grasping, navigation, and mapping. The book concludes with reflections on the future of robotics -- the potential benefits as well as the possible dangers that may arise from large numbers of increasingly intelligent and autonomous robots.. Examples range from autonomous helicopters to Roomba, the robot vacuum cleaner. It then examines a broad range of implementations and applications, including locomotion (wheeled, legged, flying, swimming, and crawling robots), manipulation (both arms and hands), localization, navigation, and mapping. Living systems can be considered th
George A. Dr. He is editor-in-chief of the journal Autonomous Robots and founding editor of IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation.. Bekey is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). He has published over 200 papers and several books in robotics, biomedical engineering, comp
