This edited book tries for the first time to provide a comprehensive treatment of autonomous mobile systems, ranging from related fundamental technical issues to practical system integration and applications. The chapters are written by some of the leading researchers and practitioners working in this field today. Readers will be presented with a complete picture of autonomous mobile systems at the systems level, and will also gain a better understanding of the technological and theoretical aspects involved within each module that composes the overall system. Five distinct parts of the book, each consisting of several chapters, emphasize the different aspects of autonomous mobile systems, starting from sensors and control, and gradually moving up the cognitive ladder to planning and decision making, finally ending with the integration of the four modules in application case studies of autonomous systems.
