Springer Frontiers of Intelligent Autonomous Systems: 466 (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 466)

This book contains papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems, IAS-12. Coverage includes intelligent autonomous ground, aerial and underwater vehicles as well as service robots for home and healthcare. Review From the reviews:“Papers give us a good idea of just how close we are to seeing robots, robotic vehicles, and robotic devices everywhere. The papers are grouped into three chapters. … The papers are aimed at researchers and others intensely interested in intelligent autonomous systems.” (D. L. Chester, Computing Reviews, May, 2013) From the Back Cover This carefully edited volume aims at providing readers with the most recent progress on intelligent autonomous systems, with its particular emphasis on intelligent autonomous ground, aerial and underwater vehicles as well as service robots for home and healthcare under the context of the aforementioned convergence. “Frontiers of Intelligent Autonomous Systems” includes thoroughly revised and extended papers selected from the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS-12), held in Jeju, Korea, June 26-29, 2012. The editors chose 35 papers out of the 202 papers presented at IAS-12 which are organized into three chapters: Chapter 1 is dedicated to autonomous navigation and mobile manipulation, Chapter 2 to unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles and Chapter 3 to service robots for home and healthcare. To help the readers to easily access this volume, each chapter starts with a chapter summary introduced by one of the editors: Chapter 1 by Sukhan Lee, Chapter 2 by Kwang Joon Yoon and Chapter 3 by Jangmyung Lee.
