## What it is
An open-source LaTeX textbook on the computational principles of autonomous robots, published in print by MIT Press. The repository contains the full book source, which users can compile to PDF themselves for non-commercial use.

## Use cases
- learn the fundamentals of autonomous robotics
- teach a university robotics course with an open textbook
- compile a personal PDF copy of a robotics textbook
- cite a standard reference on robot mechanisms, sensors, and algorithms
- study algorithms for autonomous robots self-paced

## When to choose
- you want a rigorous, academically published introduction to autonomous robotics
- you are an instructor seeking freely reusable (non-commercial) teaching material
- you prefer building the book from LaTeX source or Overleaf

## When to avoid
- you need a freely distributable PDF to host or share online
- you want hands-on code or ROS simulations rather than textbook theory
- you need commercial redistribution rights

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: robotics, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: textbook, latex, open-textbook, autonomous-robots
