ELEMENTS OF ROBOTICS - MORDECHAI BEN-ARI FRANCE...

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.
