Autonomous Mobile Robots: Planning, Navigation, and Simulation presents detailed coverage of the domain of robotics in motion planning and associated topics in navigation. This book covers numerous base planning methods from diverse schools of learning, including deliberative planning methods, reactive planning methods, task planning methods, fusion of different methods, and cognitive architectures. It is a good resource for doing initial project work in robotics, providing an overview, methods and simulation software in one resource. For more advanced readers, it presents a variety of planning algorithms to choose from, presenting the tradeoffs between the algorithms to ascertain a good choice. Finally, the book presents fusion mechanisms to design hybrid algorithms. - Presents intuitive and practical coverage of all sub-problems of mobile robotics to enable easy comprehension of sophisticated modern-day robots - Covers a wide variety of motion planning algorithms, giving a near-exhaustive treatment of the domain with thought provoking comparisons between algorithms - Dives into detailed discussions on robot operating systems and other simulators to get hands-on knowledge without the need of in-house robots
