"Recent Advances in Mobile Robotics" ed. by Andon Venelinov Topalov (Repost)

This book addresses the topic by integrating contributions from many researchers around the globe. It emphasizes the computational methods of programming mobile robots, rather than the methods of constructing the hardware. Its content reflects different complementary aspects of theory and practice, which have recently taken place.

This book will serve as a valuable handbook to those who work in research and development of mobile robots.
