Description and Table of Contents
Description
Fictional robots have long fascinated people's imaginations, and today real robots are becoming more and more common. Robotics gives the reader a thorough understanding of this amazing science and, more generally, the science of artificial intelligence. Coverage includes the anatomy of a robot (vision systems, sensors, and control mechanisms), industrial robots and how they are used around the world, and specialized robots (those used in the military, in space, and in hazardous situations). This new edition of Robotics has been completely revised and updated to chart the numerous advances made in this field since the first edition was published nearly a decade ago. It includes a history of the development of robotics, from ancient times to the present, including a "Robot Family Tree," which displays the five technical "families" that have united to comprise modern robotics. This book provides an overview of the topic and is ideal for the increasing number of "beginners" interested in this growing field.
