from Part VII - Motion and Manipulation Models in Robotics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2025
This chapter sets the foundation for the next two chapters. It introduces the reader to robotics platforms for the development of acting, planning, and learning functions. The study of motion is based on classical mechanics for the modeling of forces and their effects on mouvements. Robotics builds on this knowledge to master computational motion, navigation, and manipulation over different types of devices and environments. Robotic devices are informally introduced in the following section. Motion problems and the metric representations with continuous state variables needed for geometric, kinematic, and dynamic operational models are then presented. Section 20.3 introduces localization and navigation problems, followed by a section on manipulation problems and their representations.
