Beskrivning

Analysing and Describing Behaviour: Scientific Methods in Mobile Robotics is a decisive step towards faithful computer models of autonomous mobile robots. Mobile robotics is a cutting-edge research topic but until recently has focused on practical issues such as the design of controllers and sensors. The field is now ready to embrace theoretical methods from dynamical systems theory, statistics and system identification to produce quantitative analyses and computer models of robot-environment interaction. This book presents cutting-edge research results on the applications in mobile robotics of the modern scientific methods:- chaos theory; - parametric and non-parametric statistics; and - dynamical systems theory Analysing and Describing Behaviour: Scientific Methods in Mobile Robotics presents practical examples and case studies showing how robot behaviour can be logged, analysed, interpreted and modelled.

Mer om författaren

Dr Ulrich Nehmzow is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Essex, UK. The Robotics group in this department is the largest in the UK and considered to be one of the world’s leading in this subject.Dr Nehmzow is the publisher of the SV London textbook, Mobile Robotics: A Practical Introduction, now in its second edition (1-85233-726-5, 2003). He has over ten years’ experience in mobile robotics and is considered to be an authoritative researcher in the experimental end of the subject. The author has recently commenced a one-year research sabbatical at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He aims to use some of this year writing his book.
