Robot calibration is the process of enhancing the accuracy of a robot by modifying its control software. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory and implementation of robot calibration using computer vision technology.

Describes the details of the calibration process step-by-step, covering systems modeling, measurement, identification, correction and performance evaluation.

A modern look at state estimation, targeted at students and practitioners of robotics, with emphasis on three-dimensional applications.

This book will be useful to a wide audience of engineers, ranging from undergraduate and graduate students, new and advanced academic researchers, to practitioners (mechanical and electrical engineers, computer and system scientists).

In addition, more than 80 end-of-chapter exercises are proposed, and the book is accompanied by a solutions manual containing the MATLAB code for computer problems; this is available from the publisher free of charge to those adopting this ...

The book is completed by path and trajectory planning with vision-based examples for tracking and manipulation. This text is a thorough treatment of the rapidly growing area of aerial manipulation.

The purpose of this book is to expand on the tutorial material provided with the toolboxes, add many more examples, and to weave this into a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision separately and together.

This book captures the latest results and techniques for cooperative localization and navigation drawn from a broad array of disciplines.

The foundation of the book is a derivation of robot kinematics using the product of the exponentials formula.
