Model Abstraction in Dynamical Systems: Application to Mobile Robot Control

The subject of this book is model abstraction of dynamical systems. The p- mary goal of the work embodied in this book is to design a controller for the mobile robotic car using abstraction. Abstraction provides a means to rep- sent the dynamics of a syst
