"Robots Control and Operating in Environments" ed. by Eva Li, Efren Gorrostieta Hurtado and Hüseyin Canbolat

This book includes a selection of research papers in robot control applications, and presents several tools and mathematical concepts that allow the development and operation of robotic systems.

Robots are used in industry, rescue missions, military operations, and subwater missions.
The description of projects using robotic systems in areas such as vision, navigation, path planning, trajectories, non-holonomic systems, mobile robotics, robot control with very specific structures, as well as artificial intelligence systems is pointed out.
The development of different ideas in control systems that are useful and hopefully enriching for the reader are also presented in this book.
The use in hazardous environments is crucial in terms of occupational safety of workers and the health of rescue and military operations. Second part presents several hazardous environment operations and safe operations of robots interacting with people in the context of occupational health and safety.
