This multidisciplinary book draws on the principles of ecology to show how robots can take full advantage of the environments they inhabit, including as sources of energy.Magnus Egerstedt introduces a revolutionary new design paradigm—robot ecology—that makes it possible to achieve long-duration autonomy while avoiding catastrophic failures. Central to ecology is the idea that the richness of an organism’s behavior is a function of the environmental constraints imposed by its habitat. Moving beyond traditional strategies that focus on optimal policies for making robots achieve targeted tasks, Egerstedt explores how to use survivability constraints to produce both effective and provably safe robot behaviors. He blends discussions of ecological principles with the development of control barrier functions as a formal approach to constraint-based control design, and provides an in-depth look at the design of the SlothBot, a slow and energy-efficient robot used for environmental monitoring and conservation.Visionary in scope, Robot Ecology presents a comprehensive and unified methodology for designing robots that can function over long durations in diverse natural environments.RobotsEnvironmental aspectsAutonomous robotsDesign and constructionRoboticsEnvironmental aspectsRobotsEnvironmental aspects.Autonomous robotsDesign and construction.RoboticsEnvironmental aspects.629.892Egerstedt Magnus771533MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910554262603321Robot Ecology2820048UNINA00902nam a22002291i 450099100326998970753620040316132645.0040802s2001 it |||||||||||||||||ita b13050370-39ule_instARCHE-100298ExLBiblioteca InterfacoltàitaA.t.i.
