Books in the Foundations and Trends (R) in Robotics series

By building robotic systems with soft materials, we can realize systems that are safer, cheaper, and more adaptable than the level that conventional rigid-material robots can achieve. This volume introduces the fundamental aspects of this vibrant research topic from history, modelling, control, and system integration.

Provides an overarching snapshot of where semantics in robotics stands today. The authors establish a taxonomy for semantics research in or relevant to robotics, split into four broad categories of activity in which semantics are extracted, used, or both.
