Elements of Robotics by Mordechai Ben-Ari (PDF)

Description

This open access book bridges the gap between playing with robots in school and studying robotics at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare for careers in industry and research. Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students, such as calculus, matrices and probability. Concepts and algorithms are explained through detailed diagrams and calculations.Elements of Robotics presents an overview of different types of robots and the components used to build robots, but focuses on robotic algorithms: simple algorithms like odometry and feedback control, as well as algorithms for advanced topics like localization, mapping, image processing, machine learning and swarm robotics. These algorithms are demonstrated in simplified contexts that enable detailed computations to be performed and feasible activities to be posed. Students who study these simplified demonstrations will be well prepared for advanced study of robotics.The algorithms are presented at a relatively abstract level, not tied to any specific robot. Instead a generic robot is defined that uses elements common to most educational robots: differential drive with two motors, proximity sensors and some method of displaying output to the user.The theory is supplemented with over 100 activities, most of which can be successfully implemented using inexpensive educational robots. Activities that require more computation can be programmed on a computer. Archives are available with suggested implementations for the Thymio robot and standalone programs in Python.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an excellent collection of essays on topics related to robotics. It’s written at a college level and assumed that the reader has some familiarity with technology and mathematics.

⭐Worth exploring for those curious about the topic and for beginners. A good introduction to concepts and some implementation projects in robotics

⭐Useful for beginners. It deals with 2D and 3D rotations. If you are looking for more advanced maths. You need to look for other books.

⭐good

⭐This book useless for both a novice and an advanced user. The techniques and algorithms exposed are very outdated, but at the same time if you don’t already know the matter you can’t understand anything.Even free is bad.

⭐Nice book and it’s easy to understand the concept

⭐If you are intrested in robotics or want to make your career in robotics, you can read this book, this book help you in gaining knowledge in many aspect as per its name “Elements Of Robotics” every things related to robotics and automation for beginners is written in details in this book, try it.Best of luck !

⭐Per gli appassionati di tecnologia una finestra aperta sul mondo della robotica. Bel testo chiaro e piacevole da leggero. Utili anche i link e i riferimenti ad altri supporti. Unica pecca: carente in esempi reali di programmazione specifica per robot. Argomento di cui speravo trovare più info.

⭐

⭐An excellent overview of the teams and skills needed for coming up with viable products. Particularly useful for Administrators.

⭐I enjoy each word of this book! Recommended for those who like Science !!

⭐De uma forma relativamente simples o autor apresenta com casos práticos os elementos essenciais para a navegação e localização em robótica. Um guia essencial para quem se quer aventurar no mundo da robótica!
