Product Description
Book Description
Robotics: Science and Systems IV spans a wide spectrum of robotics, bringing together researchers working on the foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotics systems. This volume presents the proceedings of the fourth annual Robotics: Science and Systems conference, held in 2008 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. The papers presented cover a range of topics, including computer vision, mapping, terrain identification, distributed systems, localization, manipulation, collision avoidance, multibody dynamics, obstacle detection, microrobotic systems, pursuit-evasion, grasping and manipulation, tracking, spatial kinematics, machine learning, and sensor networks as well as such applications as autonomous driving and design of manipulators for use in functional-MRI. The conference and its proceedings reflect not only the tremendous growth of robotics as a discipline but also the desire in the robotics community for a flagship event at which the best of the research in the field can be presented.

Quite a bit deeper than I expected., Dec 28 2009
By Harry J. White - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Robotics: Science and Systems IV (Paperback)
I'm sure the book is fine for it's intended audiance (Probably people with a Doctorate degree in robotics) but I was looking for something a little more on the practical side. So if your looking for something very deep and theoretical then this book is probably for you. If your looking for something practical that you can apply to building your robot then this is probably not for you.
