Mobile Robotics

This book presents scientific and practical developments in the emerging trends of human-centric robotics in unstructured environments, covering Human–Robot Collaboration, Mobile Robotics and Manipulation, Field Robotics, Aerial Robotics, Humanoids, and Autonomous Driving. It offers insights into the latest scientific and technological development in robot–human interactions, advanced autonomy, and robust designs for real-world applications. This edition's approach is characterized by strong scientific developments backed by practical applications, offering detailed case studies and experimental data that support the theoretical foundations of robotic technology. By emphasizing the application side of research, it encourages readers to consider not only, theoretical advancements in robotics but also the implications and opportunities for real-world integration.

The design and control of autonomous intelligent mobile robotic systems operating in unstructured changing environments includes many objective difficulties. There are several studies about the ways in which, robots exhibiting some degree of autonomy, adapt themselves to fit in their environments.

The objective of this book is to cover advances of mobile robotics and related technologies applied for multi robot systems' design and development.

This book contains a selection of papers accepted for presentation and discussion at ROBOT2023, the Sixth Iberian Robotics Conference, held in the University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal, during November 22nd-24th, 2023. ROBOT2023 is part of a series of conferences that are jointly organized by Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica (SPR) / Portuguese Society for Robotics and by Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica (SEIDROB) / Spanish Society for Research and Development in Robotics. These conferences, now occurring with a yearly periodicity, provide a forum to roboticists mostly from Iberia, but also from other parts of the world, to present and discuss their research results, new developments, and applications in the field of Robotics.
