Special Robot Technology [Hardcover]

This book focuses on the core technologies of special robots. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed. This is achieved by providing an in-depth study on several major topics such as the vision positioning of mobile robots, the autonomous motion control of ruin search and rescue robots, and typical applications of text questions and answers robots. The autonomous motion control technologies of ruin search and rescue robots and typical applications of text questions and answers robots are the major features of the book. The book benefits researchers, engineers, senior undergraduate students, and postgraduate students in the fields of visual positioning, path planning, autonomous motion control, and typical applications of special robots. 

Introduction.- Drive System and Mechanism of Special Robots.- Sensor Technology of Special Robots.- Vision-based Mobile Robot Positioning Technology.- Path Planning for Mobile Robots Based on Algorithm Fusion.- Ruin Search and Rescue Robot.- Text Questions and Answers robot.
