Description:
These 16 contributions provide a field guide to robotics science today. Each takes up current work the problems addressed, and future directions in the areas of perception, planning, control, design, and actuation. In a substantial introduction, Michael Brady summarizes a personal list of 30 problems, problem areas, and issues that lie on the path to development of a science of robotics. These involve sensing vision, mobility, design, control, manipulation, reasoning, geometric reasoning and systems integration. Contents: The Problems of Robotics, Michael Brady. Perception. A Few Steps Toward Artificial 3-D Vision, Olivier D. Faugeras. Contact Sensing for Robot Active Touch. Paolo Dario.… Learning and Recognition in Natural Environments.
