It has long been the goal of engineers to develop tools that enhance our ability to do work, increase our quality of life, or perform tasks that are either beyond our ability, too hazardous, or too tedious to be left to human efforts. Autonomous mobile robots are the culmination of decades of research and development, and their potential is seemingly unlimited.Roadmap to the FutureServing as the first comprehensive reference on this interdisciplinary technology, Autonomous Mobile Robots: Sensing, Control, Decision Making, and Applications authoritatively addresses the theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of the field. The book examines in detail the key components that form an autonomous mobile robot, from sensors and sensor fusion to modeling and control, map building and path planning, and decision making and autonomy, and to the final integration of these components for diversified applications.Trusted GuidanceA duo of accomplished experts leads a team of renowned international researchers and professionals who provide detailed technical reviews and the latest solutions to a variety of important problems. They share hard-won insight into the practical implementation and integration issues involved in developing autonomous and open robotic systems, along with in-depth examples, current and future applications, and extensive illustrations.For anyone involved in researching, designing, or deploying autonomous robotic systems, Autonomous Mobile Robots is the perfect resource.

This book covers nonlinear dynamic modeling and stability analysis of flexible riser systems, advanced control design for an installation system with a single rigid payload attached by thrusters, robust adaptive control for mooring systems and other topics.

This book explores helicopter systems, from related nonlinear flight dynamic modeling and stability analysis to advanced control design for single helicopter systems. Coverage includes coordination and formation control of multiple helicopter systems.

This book presents a thorough investigation of stability effects on three broad classes of switching mechanism: arbitrary switching, constrained switching, and designed switching. Includes many motivating and illustrative examples.
