Mobile robots are automatic machines capable of moving without human intervention and performing certain actions. Mobile robotics is an emerging discipline of robotics and information technology that deals with the development of mobile robots. It is solution-oriented discipline, which involves the application of concepts from information technology, engineering science, artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences. Designing a mobile robot requires designing the different mechanical parts and developing a control system for the robot. Mobile robots are used in medical facilities to move patients, assist with surgical procedures, gather and transport supplies, and disinfect rooms. In agriculture, farmers use mobile robots for maintaining, measuring and harvesting fresh produce. This book traces the progress of the field of mobile robotics and highlights some of its key design concepts, methods and applications. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
