Making Robots Smarter is a book about learning robots. It treats this topic based on the idea that the integration of sensing and action is the central issue. In the first part of the book, aspects of learning in execution and control are discussed. Methods for the automatic synthesis of controllers, for active sensing, for learning to enhance assembly, and for learning sensor-based navigation are presented. Since robots are not isolated but should serve us, the second part of the book discusses learning for human-robot interaction. Methods of learning understandable concepts for...

Die Autoren geben eine fundierte Einfuhrung in die Informatik, die von Anfang an die Zusammenhange zwischen den Teilgebieten des Faches betont. Das Buch ist kompakt, weil der gemeinsame Kern der verschiedenen Informatikgebiete betrachtet wird. In einer integrativen Sichtweise werden Modellierung, abstrakte Datentypen, Algorithmen sowie nebenlaufige und verteilte Programmierung behandelt. Die grundlegenden Konzepte der Informatik werden dabei mittels der Programmiersprache Java realisiert.

Wesentliches Anliegen der Autoren ist es, die Informatik als Wissenschaft der...
