This book presents some general background on the sensing needs of a mobile system, followed by sufficient theory of operation and illustrative examples such that the overall result is both informative and of practical use. It examines how non-contact ranging sensors are employed in specific roles.
The author compiles everything a student or experienced developmental engineer needs to know about the supporting technologies associated with the rapidly evolving field of robotics.
