Thanks to advances in sensing and computer vision technologies, robots can be found today in healthcare, medicine and the industry. Topics covered in this edited book include various types of sensors used in robotics, sensing schemes, sensing technologies and their applications including robotics, prosthetics, wearables and healthcare.
Sensory systems comprising of various sensing modalities are fundamental to robotics - they provide information about the state of the environment and of the robotic system, which forms the basis for control, decision-making, and interaction. This book covers robotic sensory hardware, related electronics and system issues.
