Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles will soon become a significant presence on streets and highways--not just a novel experiment. By reducing congestion and virtually eliminating vehicle accidents, their emergence represents a watershed moment in the history of transportation that promises to vastly improve road travel, generate huge benefits for travelers and businesses, and spur economic growth.But Winston and Karpilow stress that policymakers at all levels of government must play a part by taking prompt and effective actions to ensure that autonomous vehicles will be safe and efficient when the public begins to adopt them widely. The coronavirus ravaging the world has given new urgency and importance to expediting the adoption of autonomous vehicles so that they can facilitate social distancing and reduce the disruption of economic and other activities.

Presenting the established principles underpinning space robotics (conservation of momentum and energy, stability) with a thorough and modern approach, chapters build from general physical foundations through an extensive treatment of kinematics of multi-body systems, and then to conservation principles in dynamics. The latter part of the book focuses on real-life applications related to space systems. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous solved examples, illustrative applications and MATLAB, the author includes: an explanation of basic space mechanics and the dynamics of space vehicles; a rigorous treatment of conservation and variational principles in dynamics and in control theory that can be applied to a range of space vehicles and robotic systems; and a systematic presentation of the application of dynamics and control theory to real spacecraft systems.
