Book review: Artificial intelligence and mobile robots: case studies of successful robot systems by D. Kortenkamp, R. P. Bonasso, and R. Murphy (The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA 1998)

Abstract

A rtificial Intelligence and Mobile Robots is a compilation of 13 chapters by well respected robotics researchers describing some of their most recent work. The book aims to provide a "how-to" guide to building the control system of a mobile robot. These case studies are definitely worth studying: seven of the 13 have placed highly in various robotics competitions. In the introduction, the editors give a good, yet brief, history of intelligent robots. The book is then divided into three sections.
