TL;DR: This work builds a snake-like robot for the inspection of areas that are difficult or dangerous to be accessed by human and presents a method which makes the operator control easy and also allows the robot to act fully autonomous.
Abstract: We build a snake-like robot for the inspection of areas that are difficult or dangerous to be accessed by human. Pictures from a camera at the robot's head are sent to a remote screen and can be monitored by a human operator. This human operator can also control the robot's motion, but not every single body part. Thus the operator only gives general directives and the robot will then able to follow autonomously the given directives. This is the semi-autonomous behavior of the robot. However, the robot must also be able to act fully autonomous when the contact to the operator is lost. After a short description of the robot we present a method which makes the operator control easy and also allows the robot to act fully autonomous. The autonomous motion control of the robot moving in a sewer pipe has been implemented.

TL;DR: The unique feature of this monograph lies in its comprehensive treatment of the problem, from the theoretical development of the various schemes down to the real-time implementation of algorithms on mobile robot prototypes.
Abstract: Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation builds upon the application of fuzzy logic to the area of intelligent control of mobile robots. Reactive, planned, and teleoperated techniques are considered, leading to the development of novel fuzzy control systems for perception and navigation of nonholonomic autonomous vehicles. The unique feature of this monograph lies in its comprehensive treatment of the problem, from the theoretical development of the various schemes down to the real-time implementation of algorithms on mobile robot prototypes. As such, the book spans different domains ranging from mobile robots to intelligent transportation systems, from automatic control to artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: A method for robot to human object hand-over is presented that takes into account user comfort, aimed at contributing to the development of socially aware robots.
Abstract: A method for robot to human object hand-over is presented that takes into account user comfort. Comfort is addressed by serving the object to facilitate user's convenience. The object is delivered so that the most appropriate part is oriented towards the person interacting with the robot. This approach, aimed at contributing to the development of socially aware robots, has not been considered in previous works. The robot system also supports sensory-motor skills like object and people detection, robot grasping and motion planning. The experimental setup consists of a six degrees of freedom robot arm with both an eye-in-hand laser scanner and a fixed range sensor. The user interacting with the robot can assume an arbitrary position in front of the robot. Experiments are reported from a user study.

TL;DR: A novel interactive control paradigm: telecommanding, which is used for Internet-based wheeled robot teleoperation, is proposed, which enables the robot to deliberately respond to expected events while to reactively respond to unexpected events.

TL;DR: A novel localisation system is presented which accumulates both exteroceptive and proprioceptive sensory evidence over time to localise, without requiring prior knowledge of the robot's position, and which relocalises successfully on a real robot in middle-scale environments containing transient changes such as moving people.
