Robot vision applications generally deal with finding a part and orienting it for robotic handling or inspection. This new book presents the latest research in the field from around the world, focusing on robot navigation techniques. Some specific areas covered include a building algorithm based on a grid-topological map for mobile robot navigation, robot navigation using parameterized neural gas that learns topological maps, motion planning and control of wheel-legged robots for superior field navigation, artificial neural networks for learning and decision making in multi-agent robot soccer systems, and teleoperation of mobile robots via the Internet.
