The goal of this work was to equip off-road vehicles  with computer-controlled, unmanned driving capabilities. The book  describes contributions in the area of mobility for UGVs including:  tools for assembling complex autonomous mobility systems; on-road and  off-road navigation; sensing techniques; and route planning  algorithms. In addition to basic mobility technology, the book covers  a number of integrated systems demonstrated in the field in realistic  scenarios. The approaches presented in this book can be applied to a  wide range of mobile robotics applications, from automated passenger  cars to planetary exploration, and construction and agricultural  machines. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Unmanned Ground Vehicles\u003c\/em\u003e shows the progress that was  achieved during this program, from brittle specially-built robots  operating under highly constrained conditions, to groups of modified  commercial vehicles operating in tough environments. One measure of  progress is how much of this technology is being used in other  applications. For example, much of the work in road-following,  architectures and obstacle detection has been the basis for the  Automated Highway Systems (AHS) prototypes currently under  development. AHS will lead to commercial prototypes within a few  years. The cross-country technology is also being used in the  development of planetary rovers with a projected launch date within a  few years. The architectural tools built under this program have been  used in numerous applications, from an automated harvester to an  autonomous excavator. \u003cbr\u003e  The results reported in this work provide tools for further research  development leading to practical, reliable and economical mobile  robots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792398332\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6325-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 309.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578420387980,"sku":"9780792398332","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792398332.jpg?v=1767146709","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792398332","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
