Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents series)
"This book is easy to read and well organized. The idea of providing a                 robot functional architecture as an outline of the book, and then explaining each                 component in a chapter, is excellent. I think the authors have achieved their goals,                 and that both the beginner and the advanced student will have a clear idea of how a                 robot can be endowed with mobility."--Raja Chatila, LAAS - CNRS, France"A robot is an uncertainty machine: its perception and decision-making                 capabilities must embed at their core the processes dealing with uncertainty. This                 book is an essential reference for the student, the teacher, and the researcher to                 understand the basics and the advanced methods of estimation theory, and the                 probabilistic models and processes underlying robot localization, SLAM, and decision                 making. A 'must have' textbook!"--Raja Chatila, LAAS - CNRS, FrancePlease note:                 Arrived too late to appear on book jacket.
