  Implementation of a neural-based navigation approach on indoor and outdoor mobile robots
Azouaoui O., Kadri M., Ouadah N.  CSTST 2008 (Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology, Cergy-Pontoise, France,  Oct 28-31, 2008) 71-77, 2008. Type: Proceedings

This paper addresses the problem of creating general navigation systems that would apply to different types of autonomous vehicles, including indoor and outdoor robots, with different physical dimensions and sensor characteristics. The authors...

  Robot cognition and navigation: an experiment with mobile robots
Patnaik S.,  Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2005. 292 pp. Type: Book

Robotics is mostly about experimentation, and Patnaik certainly offers the reader a book that contains quite a bit of it, with the help of code written in C++ and Java that can be readily downloaded from the publisher’s site...

  Digital people: from bionic humans to androids
Perkowitz S.,  Joseph Henry Press, 2004. 238 pp. Type: Book

Perkowitz has managed to write a book that will surely engage both expert and nonexpert readers. With an easy-to-read style, it guides readers through the many facets involved in the construction of different kinds of digital people, ranging from ...

  Analysis of creeping locomotion of a snake-like robot on a slope
Ma S., Tadokoro N.  Autonomous Robots 20(1): 15-23, 2006. Type: Article

Ma and Tadokoro present an interesting analysis of creeping locomotion of a snake-like robot on a slope. They created a model of snake-like robot kinematics and dynamics, in order to investigate the interaction of such robots with the...

  Machine experiments and theoretical modelling: from cybernetic methodology to neuro-robotics
Tamburrini G., Datteri E.  Minds and Machines 15(3-4): 335-358, 2005. Type: Article

Tamburrini and Datteri attempt to connect the cybernetics community with the computer science/robotics community. Cybernetics has traditionally focused on investigating machine models of adaptive sensorimotor behaviors observed in nature. The...

  Sensing, intelligence, motion: how robots and humans move in an unstructured world
Lumelsky V.,  Wiley-Interscience, New York, NY, 2005. 456 pp. Type: Book

Lumelsky considers the problem of how motion is planned by machine and biological systems. He considers this problem in isolation. That is, rather than considering the underlying mechanisms of motion, computation, and sensing, this book considers ...

  Human-Robot Teaming for Search and Rescue
Nourbakhsh I., Sycara K. (ed), Koes M., Yong M., Lewis M., Burion S.  IEEE Pervasive Computing 4(1): 72-78, 2005. Type: Article

This paper is a valuable contribution to the important and life-saving urban search and rescue (USAR) problem. It takes us a little closer to Hiroaki Kitano’s vision of robots working seamlessly with humans and software agents to save...
