Personal Robot Navigator (Hardcover)

The Personal Robot Navigator is a book and software combination that presents the world of personal robot navigation -- how robots can find their way around our homes and offices.

The RoboNav "RM" Simulation software included with the book enables you, the robotmaster, to establish a map for each room in your house; place furniture in the room, just as it is arranged in real life; record navigation corridors for where the robot can travel; automatically calculate the best path from and to points in the room; simulate the robot following the path while monitoring the compass, sonar, wheel turn and triangulation indicators on a sensor control panel; freeze the action and print the screen; and study the navigation log created by the robot.
