Robotics

This book focuses on the adaptive control of robotic manipulators to address the changed conditions. It’s aim is to summarise and introduce the state-of-the-art technologies in the field of adaptive control of robotic manipulators in order to improve the methodologies on the adaptive control of robo..

First published in 1987, the seven chapters that comprise this book review contemporary work on the geometric side of robotics...

Covers all aspects of basic robot design and explains the technical details...

Present-day computers lack well-defined functions to accept various kinds of sensual information such as vision, hearing, and smelling (binding problem). Computers also lack any well-defined mechanisms to coordinate various behaviors in the presence of an object (conscious mechanism). This book serv..

Drawing on the authors’ research, this book presents theoretical explorations of several fundamental problems for mobile robotic manipulators. By integrating fresh concepts and state-of-the-art results to form a systematic approach for kinematics dynamics, motion generation, feedback control, coordi..

This book provides an approach to the formulation of the fundamental task typical to any mission and provides guidelines of how this task can be solved by different generic robotic problems. It aims to provide a systems engineering approach to UAV projects, discovering the real problems that need to..

A social robot is a robot that interacts and communicates with humans or other autonomous physical agents by following social behaviors and rules attached to its role. This book provides a socially involved, yet sober, insight into the questions of robotics. Which robot technologies are coming? What..

This book explains, using the example of endovascular intervention, the development of in vitro simulators for biomedical applications based on the scientific context in the robotics area and the explanation of the medical procedure to be simulated. It presents modeling methods for in vitro represen..
