From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book is an admirable introduction to its modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought. … Like its first edition, this is an important and thought-provoking book." (Alex M. Andrew, Robotica, Vol. 22 (347), 2004)
"Mobile Robotics: A Practical Introduction (2nd edition) is an excellent introduction to the foundations and methods used for designing completely autonomous mobile robots. … provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics for a general scientific audience. It is essential reading for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students and postgraduate students studying robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot engineering. … is an admirable introduction to this modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly gives a great deal of food for thought." (Alex M. Andrew, Artificial Life & Robotics, Vol. 7 (4), 2004)
