Principles of robot motion : theory, algorithms, and implementation / Howie Choset [and others]

This text reflects the great advances in the field that have taken place in the last ten years, including sensor-based planning, probabilistic planning, localization and mapping, and motion planning for dynamic and nonholonomic systems. Its presentation makes the mathematical underpinnings of robot...
