Riassunto

This book focuses on two challenges posed in robot control by the increasing adoption of robots in the everyday human environment: uncertainty and networked communication. Part I of the book describes learning control to address environmental uncertainty. Part II discusses state estimation, active sensing, and complex scenario perception to tackle sensing uncertainty. Part III completes the book with control of networked robots and multi-robot teams.

Each chapter features in-depth technical coverage and case studies highlighting the applicability of the techniques, with real robots or in simulation. Platforms include mobile ground, aerial, and underwater robots, as well as humanoid robots and robot arms. Source code and experimental data are available at http://extras.springer.com.

The text gathers contributions from academic and industry experts, and offers a valuable resource for researchers or graduate students in robot control and perception. It also benefits researchers in related areas, such as computer vision, nonlinear and learning control, and multi-agent systems.

Informazioni sull?autore

LucianBusoniu received the M.Sc. degree (valedictorian) from the Technical Universityof Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree (cum laude) from theDelft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2009. He has held researchpositions in the Netherlands and France, and is currently an associateprofessor with the Department of Automation at the Technical University ofCluj-Napoca. His fundamental interests include planning-based methods fornonlinear optimal control, reinforcement learning and dynamic programming withfunction approximation, and multiagent systems; while his practical focus isapplying these techniques to robotics. He has coauthored a book and more than50 papers and book chapters on these topics. He was the recipient of the 2009Andrew P. Sage Award for the best paper in the IEEE Transactions on Systems,Man, and Cybernetics. 

Levente Tamas received the M.Sc. (valedictorian) and the Ph.D.degree in electrical engineering from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca,Romania, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. He took part in several postdoctoralprograms dealing with 3D perception and robotics, the most recent one spent atthe Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. He is currently with theDepartment of Automation, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Hisresearch focuses on 3D perception and planning for autonomous mobile robots,and has resulted in several well ranked conference papers, journal articles, andbook chapters in this field.
