The second edition is far more better than the 1st one especially in chapter 4 related to the feature extraction and motion from structure also in chapter 5 they added lots of explanation on SLAM and markov localization now it's more compact. For the rest of the book there's tons of reference to go deeper in each topic and most of them are very new compared to the time of the book.

The last star for lack of explanation in kinematics of both legged and wheeled robotics also how everything is connected is still vague a little bit especially the action part but if what's you're after is deeper understanding in Perception and how it's connected to Localization and planning then you're in for a treat especially accompanying the AMRx course on EDX and doing the optional simulation in VREP.

Four stars in from me for this book. That is, four celestial bodies to which to send your rover. The chapter when he derives the transformation matrix was cliff hanger central!

A book that covers nearly every aspect of Autonomous Mobile Robots. The level is good, the paragraphs are well written, but the book organization of the book makes it difficult to read. The chapters are long and it is not always clear where the story is heading. Still, it is one of the best introduction on this subject.

Checking the chapters about locomotion and kinematics. Switched halfway to the 2nd edition

read parts of it during edX course on this topic. quite detailed as for me.
