Embedded Control for Mobile Robotic Applications is a comprehensive and authoritative resource that delves into the realm of embedded control and robotics. Written by a distinguished trio of researchers, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and insights into the field.

The book begins by providing an extensive introduction to embedded control, covering various topics such as processor architecture, integrated circuits (ICs), and design technologies. It also discusses the limitations and challenges associated with embedded control design.

Comprehensive explorations of the bottom-up and top-down methods are presented, including computations using CORDIC, interval arithmetic, sliding surface design, and switched nonlinear systems. Practical discussions of generic FPGA architecture design, including Verilog, PID controllers, DC motors, and encoders, are also included, along with a systematic approach for designing architecture using FSMD.

In-depth examinations of discrete-time controller design are conducted, covering the approximation to discrete-time transfer functions and their embedded implementation. The book also includes a companion website that offers MATLAB codes for simulation and embedded platform-specific code for mobile robotic applications, written in Embedded C and Verilog.

The two approaches discussed by the authors—the top-down methodology and the bottom-up methodology—are of immediate practical utility to both practicing professionals in the field and students studying control applications and mobile robotics. The book provides a thorough foundation for understanding embedded control and robotics, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in this field.

Whether you are a seasoned professional seeking to enhance your skills or a student embarking on a journey into the world of robotics, Embedded Control for Mobile Robotic Applications is a valuable companion that will guide you through the complexities of embedded control and robotics.
