About the Book

Quantum robotics is an emerging engineering and scientific research discipline that explores the application of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and related fields to robotics. This work broadly surveys advances in our scientific understanding and engineering of quantum mechanisms and how these developments are expected to impact the technical capability for robots to sense, plan, learn, and act in a dynamic environment. It also discusses the new technological potential that quantum approaches may unlock for sensing and control, especially for exploring and manipulating quantum-scale environments. Finally, the work surveys the state of the art in current implementations, along with their benefits and limitations, and provides a roadmap for the future.

Table of Contents:
Preface.- Acknowledgments.- Notation.- Introduction.- Relevant Background on Quantum Mechanics.- Quantum Search.- Quantum Agent Models.- Machine Learning Mechanisms for Quantum Robotics.- Quantum Filtering and Control.- Current Strategies for Quantum Implementation.- Conclusion.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies.- Index.

About the Author :
John Heywood is a Professorial Fellow Emeritus of Trinity College Dublin-University of Dublin. He was given the best research publication award of the Division for the Professions of the American Educational Research Association for Engineering Education: Research and Development in the Curriculum and Instruction in 2006. Recently, he published The Assessment of Learning in Engineering Education: Practice and Policy. Previous studies among his 150 publications have included ""Learning, Adaptability and Change; The Challenge for Education and Industry,"" and co-authored Analysing Jobs, a study of engineers at work. He is a Fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education, a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Engineers of Ireland. In 2016 he received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice award from the Pope for his services to education.John Heywood is a Professorial Fellow Emeritus of Trinity College Dublin-University of Dublin.
