Experimental Robotics VII [Paperback]

Experimental robotics is at the core of validating robotics research for both its system science and theoretical foundations. Robotics experiments serve as a unifying theme for robotics system science and theoretical foundations. This book collects papers on the state of the art in experimental robotics. The papers were presented at the 2000 International Symposium on Experimental Robotics.Experimental robotics is at the core of validating robotics research for both its system science and theoretical foundations.
