Opis

Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world, including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace applications, drug design, and protein folding. Written for computer scientists and engineers with interests in artificial intelligence, robotics, or control theory, this is the only book on this topic that tightly integrates a vast body of literature from several fields into a coherent source for teaching and reference in a wide variety of applications. Difficult mathematical material is explained through hundreds of examples and illustrations.

Recenzje

' … this book really is monumental and well-written piece of work, and although few will have cause to read more than a fraction of its content, at its price it deserves to find its way onto the bookshelves of many of us, as well as being recommended to our students.' ScienceDirect
