If you're interested in perception, like tracking & freespace detection or SLAM, then "Probabilistic Robotics" by Thrun is pretty good.
Probabilistic Robotics by Thurn/Burgard/Fox is basically the best resource for anything SLAM or planning related.
Thrun et. al's 'Probabilistic Robotics' is a very good applied probability text, with a focus on physical systems. Plenty of worked examples and problem sets as well.
Probabilistic Robotics. Great overview of fusion and perception techniques for robots with various sensor types, reads like a world class lecture series instead of being a dry textbook.
