Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents series) Review
The good news is that this book covers a range of topics in sufficient detail and accuracy
to give students a good understanding of the topic.
Here are some reasons I could not give it 5 stars.
First, the book is uneven. Some details don't seem to really go any place (such as some of the advanced
topics in configuration space). On the other hand, students what to know about SLAM, SLAM and well, more SLAM
(I do not know if I agree with student here... )
Also what about multi-robot systems? Flying robots (are they mobile robots? ). Legged robots?
Also, being an old-school trained robotics person, I thought the discussion kinematics and dynamics was inadequate
and could be beefed up. Perhaps the authors felt that it would take them too far off the main theme? I don't know,
but no D-H parameters? Really? The text has about 2x as many words as it needs to cover the same material. It could benefit from tighter editing to make
the meaning clearer and the text less wordy. By way of analogy, in the software world K&R probably said everything
there was needed to be said, in a concise way, about C. But, there are many much more wordy books out there..
Oh, and lets see what else.. ahh the algorithms presented. My feeling is that some may obfuscate rather than elucidate.
However, given these defects, this book has a coverage which would be hard to match in several books, and I enjoyed reading it and learning from it...Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents series) Overview
