A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of moving around in a physical environment. Mobile robotics is a subfield of robotics and information engineering concerned with the research and development of mobile robots. This field integrates the technological advancements in machine learning with physical environment, which enables the mobile robots to navigate their surroundings. Mobile robots can be classified into autonomous mobile robots and non-autonomous mobile robots. Autonomous robots do not require any external guidance for locomotion, while non-autonomous mobile robots move with the assistance of a guidance system. Mobile robots have applications in hospitals, industries and military. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of mobile robotics. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
