This is especially true in the field of autonomous robotic vehicles and this application will be the focus of this work. This work is divided into two parts. Part I describes the motor types and feedback devices available and the appropriate choice for a given robotics application. This is followed by a description of the control strategies available and appropriate for a variety of situations. Part II describes the vision hardware and navigation software necessary for an autonomous robotic vehicle. The conclusion discusses how the two parts are coming together in the emerging field of electric smart car technology. The content is aimed at the robotic vehicle designer. Both parts present a contribution to the field but also survey the required background material for a researcher to enter into development. The material has been made succinct and graphical wherever appropriate. Grant Information This early part of this work done during the 1999-2000 academic year was conducted under a grant from Motion Control Systems Inc. MCS of New River Virginia. Acknowledgments I would like to thank the folks at MCS for supporting the early part of this research and for letting me build and go right-hand-plane with the inverted pendulum system of Chapter 5.
