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). This book was written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot enthusiasts and researchers.
