Robotics, Vision and Control: Fundamental Algorithms in Python, 3/e (Paperback)

This textbook provides a comprehensive, but tutorial, introduction to robotics, computer vision, and control. It is written in a light but informative conversational style, weaving text, figures, mathematics, and lines of code into a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision--separately, and together as robotic vision. Over 1600 code examples show how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code.

This edition is based on Python and is accompanied by fully open-source Python-based Toolboxes for robotics and machine vision. The new Toolboxes enable the reader to easily bring the algorithmic concepts into practice and work with real, non-trivial, problems on a broad range of computing platforms. For the beginning student the book makes the algorithms accessible, the Toolbox code can be read to gain understanding, and the examples illustrate how it can be used. The code can also be the starting point for new work, for practitioners, students, or researchers, by writing programs based on Toolbox functions, or modifying the Toolbox code itself.

本教科書提供了一個全面但教學式的機器人學、電腦視覺和控制的介紹。它以輕鬆但豐富的對話風格撰寫，將文字、圖片、數學和程式碼結合成一個敘述，涵蓋了機器人學和電腦視覺，分別以及作為機器人視覺的整體。超過1600個程式碼範例展示了如何使用僅僅幾行簡單的程式碼分解和解決複雜問題。

本版本基於Python，並附帶完全開源的Python工具箱，用於機器人學和機器視覺。新的工具箱使讀者能夠輕鬆將演算法概念應用於實踐，並在各種計算平台上處理真實且非平凡的問題。對於初學者，本書使演算法變得易於理解，工具箱的程式碼可以閱讀以獲得理解，而範例則說明了如何應用它。對於從事實踐、學生或研究人員來說，這些程式碼也可以作為新工作的起點，通過基於工具箱函數編寫程式或修改工具箱程式碼本身。
