About the Book
Wheeled Mobile Robotics covers all the essential knowledge and algorithms that are required in order to achieve autonomous capabilities of wheeled mobile robots. It includes topics from mathematical modelling of motion, sensors and measurements, control algorithms, path planning, probabilistic sensor data fusion and localization using state estimation filters. The theory is supported with examples that have solutions and excerpts of Matlab code listings in order to make it simple for the reader to try, evaluate and modify the algorithms. Furthermore, at the end of the book some interesting practical projects are depicted, which can serve for laboratory practice or to consolidate the theory learned.
The book addresses essential problems in wheeled mobile robotics and presents to the reader various approaches that can be used to tackle them. It can serve both as a textbook for engineering students in mobile robotics related courses and a reference book for professionals in the field.
