Analysing and Describing Behaviour: Scientific Methods in Mobile Robotics is a decisive step towards faithful computer models of autonomous mobile robots. Mobile robotics is a cutting-edge research topic but until recently has focused on practical issues such as the design of controllers and sensors. The field is now ready to embrace theoretical methods from dynamical systems theory, statistics and system identification to produce quantitative analyses and computer models of robot-environment interaction. This book presents cutting-edge research results on the applications in mobile robotics of the modern scientific methods:- chaos theory; - parametric and non-parametric statistics; and - dynamical systems theory Analysing and Describing Behaviour: Scientific Methods in Mobile Robotics presents practical examples and case studies showing how robot behaviour can be logged, analysed, interpreted and modelled.
