About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This book provides an interesting overview on embedded robotics. … presents most of the practical aspects related to the design and control of an autonomous robot. … In the reviewer’s opinion, this book is suitable as a textbook for a laboratory class on robotics. … The book might also be of interest to Ph.D. students … . is very well organized and it-is-written-in-a-pleasantly concise style. Undergraduate and graduate students and researchers interested in embedded robotics will find it useful and rich in valuable material." (Gianluca Antonelli, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (3), 2007)
