Theory and Technology of Mobile Robots Autonomous Control (Chinese Edition)

Mobile robot technology has a broad prospect of application in industry, agriculture, military and transportation. It is a key technology and an important impetus in the countrys industrialization and informatization. Due to the complexity of the robots application environment and its tasks, theories and technologies which are concern with improving the capacity of the robots autonomous behavior have been the frontier and hot spot of contemporary robotics. The book centers on certain key issues concerning mobile robots autonomous control and is the authors achievement of long years researches. Rich in content, the book includes new theories about the autonomous control of aerial robotics, and ground and underwater mobile robots,as well as brief introductions of new technologies and their application. Its major concerns are key theories and technologies of autonomous control of uninhabited aerial vehicle and rotor flying robot, cooperative control of multi-UAV, and autonomous driving of unmanned ground vehicle, as well as path planning for intelligent vehicle, the adaptive control of underwater robots in bionic flow fields, slam technology of mobile robot, and theories and methods of reinforcement learning that improves the mobile robots autonomous behavior, etc. This book shows the authors newest research done in related fields. Novel and pioneering, it is a combination of both theory and practice. The book can serve as a reference book for those in institutions of higher learning or of scientific research who work on robot and intelligent control, on pattern recognition and so on, as well as for teachers, students, and researchers specialized in autonamatization, computer and other related fields. The chief editors of the book include Shen Lincheng, Xu Xin, Zhua Huayong and Hu Tianjiang.
