Embedded robotics: mobile robot design and applications with embedded systems

This book presents a unique combination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with embedded systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors,PID control, multitasking, wireless communication), mobile robot design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and mobile robot applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation). Its thirdandnbsp;edition has been significantly extended with new chapters on CPUs, robot manipulators and automotive systems, as well as additional material in the chapters on navigation/localization, neural networks and genetic algorithms. This results in a much more complete treatment ofthe subject area and an even more well-rounded publication that contains up-to-date research results. From introductory to intermediate level Covers in-depth embedded microcontroller systems, sensors, actuators (DC motors), PID control, mobile robot design, and mobile robot applications Layout with icons per chapter, side-texts, and lots of figures, photographs, and worked example programs INDICE: Part I: Embedded Systems - Part II: Mobile Robot Design - Part III: Mobile Robot Applications.
