Robotic Vehicles Design (eBook)

Julio Alberto MENDOZA-MENDOZA Mechatronics Engineer and Computer Sciences PhD, currently a researcher and professor of mechatronics, bionics, telematics, energy and automotive engineerings at UPIITA IPN, and also a member of the national system of researchers of Mexico, He has 2 books published with Apress, one of them has been translated in China and SouthKorea, his interest areas are robotics, mechatronics, automatic control, AI, programming, electronics, haptics, intellectual property and human languages, He won the prize to the Mexican inventor in 2020 granted by the Mexican ministry of economy. He has currently 8 JCR papers with Springer, IEEE and Elsevier. He was a partial time professor at UNAM from 2018-2020. We dediced to write this book in order to give an upgrade to our previous Apress books and in order to be useful for our projects and teaching activities Orlando GARCIA-PEREZ holds a Master's and Doctoral degree in Sciences in Autonomous Navigation Systems for Air and Underwater Vehicles from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute. Currently serving as a professor-researcher at the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo, his research interests encompass autonomous multirotor vehicle control, embedded systems, and optimal control. His passion lies in mobile robotics, with ongoing projects focusing on autonomous navigation with multirotors for tasks such as monitoring, terrain mapping, and disease identification in crops using computer vision and drones. With a background in Computer Systems Engineering, he likes programming, particularly object-oriented programming for embedded systems like Pixhawk using Ardupilot libraries Jorge FONSECA-CAMPOS received a B.S. degree in engineering physics from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, CDMX, in 1997 and an M.S. degree in sciences with a specialty in optical physics from Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, in 2021. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree with the Department of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at CINVESTAV IPN. He has been a Professor with UPIITA-IPN since 2001. His research interests include optics, data acquisition systems, solar energy, electronic instrumentation, data analysis, water quality monitoring, biotechnology, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
