Mechatronics And Intelligent Systems For Off-road Vehicles by Francisco Rovira M, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Rapid developments in electronics over the past two decades have induced a move from purely mechanical vehicles to mechatronics design. Recent advances in computing, sensors, and information technology are pushing mobile equipment design to incorporate higher levels of automation under the concept of intelligent vehicles. Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehiclesintroduces this new concept, and provides an overview of the recent applications and future approaches within this field. Real examples are provided of vehicles designed to move in off-road environments, including agriculture, forestry, and construction machines. These examples describe and illustrate features such as automatic steering, safeguarding, and precision agriculture capabilities. Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehicleswill be of great interest to professional engineers and researchers in vehicle automation, robotics, and the application of artificial intelligence to mobile equipment; as well as to graduate students of mechanical, electrical, and agricultural engineering. | Mechatronics And Intelligent Systems For Off-road Vehicles by Francisco Rovira M, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
