This textbook covers both mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with embedded systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), mobile robot design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and mobile robot applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation). The book is written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering, and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot hobbyists and researchers.
From introductory to intermediate level Covers in-depth embedded microcontroller systems, sensors, actuators (DC motors), PID control, mobile robot design, and mobile robot applications Layout with icons per chapter, side-texts, and lots of figures, photographs, and worked example programs Internet support at http://robotics.ee.uwa.edu.au/eyebot/ with free download of: RoBIOS operating system, example programs, online documentation, simulator Lecture Notes (PowerPoint) available for lecturers who adopt the book for a course Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
