A Case Based Introduction to Service Robotics

This book-CD combo 3D interactive multimedia and full color print publication, tested on many undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in the USA and in the UK, is an excellent introduction to Service Robotics principles, requirements, design challenges, applications, and practical examples.

It discusses the basic principles of service robotics, methods, tools and technologies with several industrial and research case studies explained and demonstrated by our industry expert, technologist extraordinaire, holder of nine US patents (!), and author of over 290 technical papers and books (!), Harry T. Roman, professional engineer, on-site, in a commercial USA service robot factory.

The over 500 interactive screens include 8 major topic areas, and over 40 minutes of digital videos and highly interactive 3DVR object screens, covering:

* Introduction to service robotics
* A detailed case study on the requirements analysis,
* design challenges, and
* application opportunities of service robots with videos and animation
* Case-based learning and marketing methods; Major Review Questions & Problems
* References
* Case documentation guidelines
* Useful spreadsheet templates for educators and students
* A Major Glossary of Terms
* Customizable, open-source MS-Excel Tools & Templates to perform your own requirements analysis and
* Process failure risk analysis calculations

Furthermore, we cover a section of Advanced 3DVR Object Demos and Beautiful Images/ Videos to relax.

Please note, that this multimedia case publication includes several open source, customizable spreadsheet (i.e. active code) templates in MS-Excel.
