Preface Mobile robotics is a young field. Its roots include many engineering and science disci- plines, from mechanical, electrical and electronics engineering to computer, cognitive and social sciences. Each of these parent fields has its share of introductory textbooks that excite and inform prospective students, preparing them for future advanced coursework and research. Our objective in writing this textbook is to provide mobile robotics with such a preparatory guide. This book presents an introduction to the fundamentals of mobile robotics, spanning the mechanical, motor, sensory, perceptual and cognitive layers that comprise our field of study. A collection of workshop proceedings and journal publications could present the new student with a snapshot of the state of the art in all aspects of mobile robotics. But here we aim to present a foundation — a formal introduction to the field. The formalism and analysis herein will prove useful even as the frontier of the state of the art advances due to the rapid progress in all of mobile robotics' sub-disciplines. We hope that this book will empower both the undergraduate and graduate robotics stu- dent with the background knowledge and analytical tools they will need to evaluate and even critique mobile robot proposals and artifacts throughout their career. This textbook is suitable as a whole for introductory mobile robotics coursework at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Individual chapters such as those on Perception or Kinematics can be useful as overviews in more focused courses on specific sub-fields of robotics. The origins of the this book bridge the Atlantic Ocean. The authors have taught courses on Mobile Robotics at the undergraduate and graduate level at Stanford University, ETH Zurich, Carnegie Mellon University and EPFL (Lausanne). Their combined set of curricu- lum details and lecture notes formed the earliest versions of this text. We have combined our individual notes, provided overall structure and then test-taught using this textbook for two additional years before settling on the current, published text. For an overview of the organization of the book and summaries of individual chapters, refer to Section 1.2. Finally, for the teacher and the student: we hope that this textbook proves to be a fruitful launching point for many careers in mobile robotics. That would be the ultimate reward. 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction Robotics has achieved its greatest success to date in the world of industrial manufacturing. Robot arms, or manipulators, comprise a 2 billion dollar industry. Bolted at its shoulder to a specific position in the assembly line, the robot arm can move with great speed and accu- racy to perform repetitive tasks such as spot welding and painting (figure 1.1). In the elec- tronics industry, manipulators place surface-mounted components with superhuman precision, making the portable telephone and laptop computer possible. Yet, for all of their successes, these commercial robots suffer from a fundamental dis- advantage: lack of mobility. A fixed manipulator has a limited range of motion that depends ? KUKA Inc. ?

Introduction 9 on where it is bolted down. In contrast, a mobile robot would be able to travel throughout the manufacturing plant, flexibly applying its talents wherever it is most effective. This book focuses on the technology of mobility: how can a mobile robot move unsu- pervised through real-world environments to fulfill its tasks? The first challenge is locomo- tion itself. How should a mobile robot move, and what is it about a particular locomotion mechanism that makes it superior to alternative locomotion mechanisms? Hostile environments such as Mars trigger even more unusual locomotion mechanisms (figure 1.2). In dangerous and inhospitable environments, even on Earth, such teleoperated systems have gained popularity (figures 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6). In these cases, the low-level complexities of the robot often make it impossible for a human operator to directly control its motions. The human performs localization and cognition activities, but relies on the robot’s control scheme to provide motion control. For example, Plustech’s walking robot provides automatic leg coordination while the human operator chooses an overall direction of travel (figure 1.3). Figure 1.6 depicts an underwater vehicle that controls six propellers to autonomously stabilize the robot subma- rine in spite of underwater turbulence and water currents while the operator chooses posi- tion goals for the submarine to achieve. Other commercial robots operate not where humans cannot go but rather share space with humans in human environments (figure 1.7). These robots are compelling not for rea- sons of mobility but because of their autonomy, and so their ability to maintain a sense of position and to navigate without human intervention is paramount. Figure 1.2 The mobile robot Sojourner was used during the Pathfinder mission to explore Mars in summer 1997. It was almost completely teleoperated from Earth. However, some on-board sensors allowed for obstacle detection. (http://ranier.oact.hq.nasa.gov/telerobotics_page/telerobotics.shtm). ? NASA/JPL Figure 1.3 Plustech developed the first application-driven walking robot. It is designed to move wood out of the forest. The leg coordination is automated, but navigation is still done by the human operator on the robot. (http://www.plustech.fi). ? Plustech.

For example, AGV (autonomous guided vehicle) robots (figure 1.8) autonomously deliver parts between various assembly stations by following special electrical guidewires using a custom sensor. The Helpmate service robot transports food and medication throughout hospitals by tracking the position of ceiling lights, which are manually specified to the robot beforehand (figure 1.9). Several companies have developed autonomous clean- ing robots, mainly for large buildings (figure 1.10). One such cleaning robot is in use at the Paris Metro. Other specialized cleaning robots take advantage of the regular geometric pat- tern of aisles in supermarkets to facilitate the localization and navigation tasks. Research into high-level questions of cognition, localization, and navigation can be per- formed using standard research robot platforms that are tuned to the laboratory environ- ment. This is one of the largest current markets for mobile robots. Various mobile robot platforms are available for programming, ranging in terms of size and terrain capability. The most popular research robots are those of ActivMedia Robotics, K-Team SA, and I- Robot (figures 1.11, 1.12, 1.13) and also very small robots like the Alice from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne) (figure 1.14). Although mobile robots have a broad set of applications and markets as summarized above, there is one fact that is true of virtually every successful mobile robot: its design involves the integration of many different bodies of knowledge. No mean feat, this makes mobile robotics as interdisciplinary a field as there can be. To solve locomotion problems, the mobile roboticist must understand mechanism and kinematics; dynamics and control theory. To create robust perceptual systems, the mobile roboticist must leverage the fields of signal analysis and specialized bodies of knowledge such as computer vision to properly employ a multitude of sensor technologies. Localization and navigation demand knowl- edge of computer algorithms, information theory, artificial intelligence, and probability theory. Figure 1.15 depicts an abstract control scheme for mobile robot systems that we will use throughout this text. This figure identifies many of the main bodies of knowledge associ- ated with mobile robotics. This book provides an introduction to all aspects of mobile robotics, including software and hardware design considerations, related technologies, and algorithmic techniques. The intended audience is broad, including both undergraduate and graduate students in intro- ductory mobile robotics courses, as well as individuals fascinated by the field. While not absolutely required, a familiarity with matrix algebra, calculus, probability theory, and computer programming will s
