In this book you are introduced \nto the fundamental concepts of this complex field via twelve detailed case \nstudies that show how to build and program real working robots. \nTopics covered in clued learning, autonomous navigation in unmodified, \nnoisy and unpredictable environments, and high fidelity robot simulation. \nThis new edition has been updated to include a new chapter on novelty \ndetection, and provides a very practical introduction to mobile robotics \nfor a general scientific audience.  It is essential reading for 2nd and \n3rd year undergraduate students and postgraduate students studying \nrobotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and robot \nengineering.  The update and overview of core concepts in mobile robotics \nwill assist and encourage practitioners of the field and set challenges to \nexplore new avenues of research in this exiting field. \nThe author is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science at the \nUniversity of Essex. \n\"A very fine overview over the relevant problems to be solved in the \nattempt to bring intelligence to a moving vehicle.\" \nProfessor Dr. Ewald von Puttkamer, University of Kaiserslautern \n\"Case studies show ways of achieving an impressive repertoire of kinds of \nlearned behaviour, navigation and map-building.  The book is an admirable \nintroduction to this modern approach to mobile robotics and certainly \ngives a great deal of food for thought.  This is an important and \nthough-provoking book.\" \nAlex M.
