Opis

This is a reference to the supporting technologies associated with the field of robotics. Presenting the material in a manner which often parallels strategies of robotic development, the author provides an explanation of the theory of sensor operation. A review of both prototype and commercially available candidate systems is presented throughout and then followed up with practical lessons learned from actual use on various robotic vehicles.
