Robot Systems for Rail Transit Applications

Robot Systems for Rail Transit Applications

presents the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence for railway systems, giving foundational principles and running through special problems in robot systems for rail transit.

State-of-the art research in robotics and railway systems is presented alongside a series of real-world examples.

Eight chapters give definitions and characteristics of rail transit robot systems, describe assembly and collaborative robots in manufacturing, introduce automated guided vehicles and autonomous rail rapid transit, demonstrate inspection robots, cover trench robots, and explain unmanned aerial vehicles.

This book offers an integrated and highly-practical way to approach robotics and artificial intelligence in rail-transit.
