Foundations of Robotics presents the fundamental concepts and methodologies for the analysis, design, and control of robot manipulators. It explains the physical meaning of the concepts and equations used, and it provides, in an intuitively clear way, the necessary background in…
1. Introduction -- 2. Barrier Coverage between Two Landmarks -- 3. Multi-level Barrier Coverage -- 4. Problems of Barrier and Sweep Coverage in Corridor Environments -- 5. Sweep Coverage along a Line -- 6. Optimal Distributed Blanket Coverage Problem -- 7. Distributed Self-Deplo…
This book introduces various coverage control problems for mobile sensor networks including barrier, sweep and blanket. Unlike many existing algorithms, all of the robotic sensor and actuator motion algorithms developed in the book are fully decentralized or distributed, computa…
Practical Field Robotics: A Systems Approach is a comprehensive reference that takes the reader through the whole process of field robotics, starting from the beginning 'problem statement' to the end 'project demonstration'. It takes a practical approach, showing precisely how t…
