1 Computational Principles of Mobile Robotics Mobile robotics is a multidisciplinary field involving both computer science and engineering. Addressing the design of automated systems, it lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational vision, and robotics. This textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students emphasizes computation and algorithms for a range of strategies for locomotion, sensing, and reasoning. It concentrates on wheeled and legged mobile robots but also discusses a variety of other propulsion systems. The new edition presents advances in robotics and intelligent machines over the last 10 years, including significant coverage of SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and multi-robot systems. It includes additional mathematical background and an extensive list of sample problems. Various mathematical techniques that were assumed in the first edition are now briefly introduced in appendices at the end of the text to make the book more self-contained. Researchers and students in the field of mobile robotics will appreciate this comprehensive treatment of state-of-the-art methods and key technologies. Gregory Dudek is James McGill Professor of Computer Science and the Director of the School of Computer Science and of the Mobile Robotics Laboratory at McGill University. Michael Jenkin is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at York University. He has coedited eight books on human and machine vision.

9 Acknowledgments This book would not have been possible without the active support of our students and colleagues who suffered through early drafts, provided imagery and papers, and put up with us while this volume was being put together. The list of people who helped is much too long to include here, but some require special mention: International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), for letting us do a tutorial on mobile robotics that started us on the journey; students at McGill and York, including Eric Bourque, Andrew Hogue, and Yiannis Rekleitis, who suffered with photocopies of early drafts; Prof. Evangelos Milios for his helpful comments and Prof. Evangelos Papadopoulos for his help on space robots; Rob Sim for his figures; and Louis Dudek for his proofreading and helpful comments. Finally, we thank Lauren Cowles and Cambridge University Press for encouraging us do this in the first place. xi
10 Preface to the Second Edition The authors surrounded by a collection of some of their robots and sensors. The first edition of this book arose from a tutorial that was initially presented in It evolved over a number of years and finally appeared in Robotics is, of course, a rapidly changing field, and even as the first edition was appearing, it was apparent that it would become dated rather quickly. Thus in late 2002, the first steps were taken toward a second edition. The field of mobile robotics continues to evolve, and this book has (we hope) evolved with the field. Topics that were in their infancy when the first edition was published such as SLAM and multi-robot systems have evolved into much more mature disciplines. The mathematical foundations of much of mobile robotics has also matured, and this too is reflected in this volume. In addition to updating the various algorithms and methods described in the first edition, the second edition is somewhat more self-contained. Specifically, various mathematical techniques that were assumed in the first edition are now introduced, albeit briefly, in appendices at the end of the text. xiii
