Reviews
From the reviews:This book's 13 chapters are a unique collection of research in which machine learning extends into robotic intelligence in order to develop robots that are more complex and adaptable to their dynamic environments. … There is something here for everyone great ideas, sufficient theoretical backups, and excellent case studies with real robots in action. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. (G. Trajkovski, Choice, Vol. 48 (7), March, 2011)This book was a welcome surprise: it is short, but includes many topics relevant to the robotics research community. … Another interesting aspect of the book is that almost every chapter includes physical experiments. … Researchers and PhD students interested in the latest approaches and techniques in robotics will be most interested in this book. It is especially appropriate for researchers interested in the fields of manipulator robots and social robots (robots that interact with human beings).
