This book presents the latest advances for the frontier cross disciplinary field of robotics, intelligent control and learning. Sevenchapters are provided to cover the key common theories and technologies of robots, including the robot mapping and navigation, robotrecharging and smart power management, robot arm manipulation,unmanned vehicle control, intelligent manufacturing systems, etc.The book proposes a unique new perspective using time seriesprediction to control robots. Especially with the fast increasing ofvarious data in robotics, this new robot control mode using timeseries prediction has become very important. The book provides thecomplete cases for the most popular application scenes of robotpredictive control. By this first monograph on the topic of robot timeseries predictive control in the world, author provides importantreferences for the engineers, scientists and students in the field ofrobotics and artificial intelligence.
