Robotics Books

'Robotics Simplified' is a learner's handbook that provides a thorough foundation around robotics, including all the basic concepts. The book takes you through a lot of essential topics about robotics, including robotic sensing, actuation, programming,...

If you’re looking for a way to become an expert in machine learning, then keep reading...Machine learning is an incredibly dense topic. It’s hard to imagine condensing it into an easily readable and digestible format. However, this book aims...

Robots that are used to support humans in dangerous environments, e.g., in manufacture facilities are established for decades. Now, a new generation of service robots is focus of current research and about to be introduced. These intelligent service...

This book will play a central role in ensuring safe and reliable behaviour of intelligent and autonomous systems. It collects some of the most recent results in fault diagnosis and fault tolerant systems, with particular...

While optimality conditions for optimal control problems with state constraints have been extensively investigated in the literature the results pertaining to numerical methods are relatively scarce. This book fills the gap by...

A selection of papers exploring a wide spectrum of new trends in nonlinear dynamics and control, such as bifurcation control, state estimation and reconstruction, analysis of behavior and stabilities, dynamics of nonlinear...

The ?eld of robotics continues to ?ourish and develop. In common with general scienti?c investigation, new ideas and implementations emerge quite spontaneously and these are discussed, used, discarded or subsumed at c-...

Robot interaction control is one of the most challenging targets for industrial robotics. While it would provide the robotic systems with a high degree of autonomy, its effectiveness is limited by the complexity of this...

Human-Robot Interaction: A Survey presents a unified treatment of HRI-related issues, identifies key themes, and discusses challenge problems that are likely to shape the field in the near future. The authors describe the HRI story from multiple...

Unmanned and remotely operated vehicles have been around for a long time and have served varied and important purposes, with technical improvements in both electronics and materials contributing to their increased usefulness across many industries.In...

The Codexation Dilemma, also known as the Human Mental Handicap, is one of the greatest intellectual foundations in the study of the mind that refutes the idea that consciousness originates in the brain. This assertion, according to Lawsin, is based on...

This book is a comprehensive guide to operating systems for controlling robots. It covers the fundamentals of robot programming, the concept of control systems, and the latest developments in robot control using operating systems. A practical and applied...

This book presents a comprehensive study of feedback control for non-holonomic systems in time periodic environments. The authors introduce new control designs for stabilization, trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection in a time periodic setting,...

Elements of Quaternions is a mathematical treatise written by A. S. Hardy and first published in 1891. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to quaternions, a type of mathematical object that extends the concept of complex numbers to four...

This book is the result of our teaching over the years an undergraduate course on Linear Optimal Systems to applied mathematicians and a first-year graduate course on Linear Systems to engineers. The contents of the book bear...
