“Autonomous Robot Systems” explores the technologies enabling robots to operate independently in complex environments. It focuses on how these systems perceive, plan, and act, highlighting the integration of sensor fusion—combining data from cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs—to enhance environmental awareness.
A key aspect covered is motion planning, detailing algorithms that allow robots to navigate efficiently while avoiding obstacles. The book progresses from foundational concepts to advanced topics like decision-making under uncertainty and reinforcement learning for adaptive control, showcasing how robots can learn from experience.
Real-world case studies illustrate applications in remote sensing, environmental monitoring, and precision agriculture. The emphasis is on the synergistic integration of perception, planning, and control, providing practical guidance for implementing and deploying autonomous robot systems.
This book uniquely emphasizes the algorithmic and architectural aspects of autonomous robots, offering tools and techniques for design, simulation, and testing. It caters to a broad audience, including students, researchers, and professionals interested in robotics, artificial intelligence, and semantics, providing both an accessible introduction and in-depth coverage of advanced topics.
