Mobile Robots: towards New Applications
Edited by Aleksandar Lazinica, ISBN 978-3-86611-314-5, Hard cover, 600 pages, Publisher: I-Tech Education and Publishing, Published: December 01, 2006 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, in subject Mobile Robotics
DOI: 10.5772/33
The range of potential applications for mobile robots is enormous. It includes agricultural robotics applications, routine material transport in factories, warehouses, office buildings and hospitals, indoor and outdoor security patrols, inventory verification, hazardous material handling, hazardous site cleanup, underwater applications, and numerous military applications. This book is the result of inspirations and contributions from many researchers worldwide. It presents a collection of wide range research results of robotics scientific community. Various aspects of current research in new robotics research areas and disciplines are explored and discussed. It is divided in three main parts covering different research areas: Humanoid Robots, Human-Robot Interaction, and Special Applications. We hope that you will find a lot of useful information in this book, which will help you in performing your research or fire your interests to start performing research in some of the cutting edge research fields mentioned in the book.
