Book Description
To ensure the capability of defense, a demand for equipment and systems which can be embraced under the title of "Robotics" will emerge in the near future. In this context, "Robotics" represents a specific problem area involving all the guidance and control functions which are associated with achieving goal-oriented autonomous behavior in structured and unstructured environments for mobile and manipulator systems as applied to ground, sea, air, and space operations. Related robotic systems must combine constituent functions such as intelligent decision making, control, manipulation, motion, sensing, and communication. The scope of the special course will cover new developments in the areas of autonomous navigation for planetary and surface systems, and control and operations of remote manipulators.
