13Conclusions
Nir Shvalb, Eugene Kagan, and Irad Ben‐Gal
In recent years, autonomous mobile robots have raised much interest in the research community as well as in industry, as they are the basis for various autonomous transportation vehicles. Compared with their human controlled counterparts, they offer advantages in regard to safety, maneuverability, and long‐period endurances. Moreover, autonomous robots are likely to produce significant cost savings for commercial applications, such as inspection of infrastructures, autonomous delivery systems and autonomous security systems. These implementations are made possible due to significant advances:
- The accessibility of various sensory systems (presented in Chapter 2 of this book) and a free‐to‐use global positioning system (Chapter 5) alongside with the availability of estimation and prediction methods, and new methods for environment mapping (see Chapters 3, 6, and 10).
- The emergence of mechanical systems such as omni‐wheeled mobile robots and aerial quadrotors (Chapter 3), which opens up new possibilities for in‐person delivery and novel transportation opportunities.
- The relative maturity of the motion planning research field (discussed in Chapters 1, 4, and 6) with advances in probabilistic robotics (Chapters 4, 6, and 7) that relate to motion planning where significant uncertainties in the environment, sensory systems, actuators, etc. are expected.
- New energy sources and energy consumption reduction methods (Chapter 8 ...
