| Abstract
|
:
|
This book presents a collection of twenty-three timely contributions that cover a well-selected repertory of topics within the autonomous systems field. Intelligent autonomous systems (IAS) are finding new applications in industrial production, health-care service and other sectors of modern life. The book is divided into the following three parts: Part 1 - General Concepts, Architectures and Technologies, Part 2 - Mobile, Walking and Snake-Like Robots, and Part 3 - Applications. Part 1 contains seven chapters dealing with the requirements, architectures and implementation(s) of intelligent/sensor-based autonomous systems and robots: Part 2 presents eleven contributions covering the design, path-planning, navigation, and motion-planning and control of mobile robots including legged robots and snake-like robots. Finally, Part 3 involves five important applications, namely: cellular manufacturing, robotic wheelchairs, robotic excavators, robotic explorers and autonomously controlled vehicles on the highway. The book can serve as a reference for the young and senior researcher and practitioner in the field. A wide repertory of IAS design, construction, control and operation problems can be found along with a multiplicity of well-established and novel solutions.
