                  sensors, motors, and computers become smaller and
                  cheaper. However, robotic technology depends not
                  only on the physical hardware, but also on the
                  software to perceive, plan, and control. Progress on
                  the algorithmic foundations of robotics is
                  critical. The papers in this volume give a solid
                  overview of the state of the art in robot
                  algorithms. They cover core problems in robotics,
                  such as motion planning, sensor-based planning,
                  manipulation, and assembly planning, and also
                  examine the application of robotics algorithms in
                  other domains, like molecular modeling, geometric
                  modeling, and computer-assisted surgery. The volume
                  includes papers presented at the Third International
                  Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics,
                  held at Rice University in 1998. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">book</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
