商品簡介
Presents current research in the fields of new actuators, advanced design methods, adaptive control concepts, complex sensor systems, and future applications. Several papers deal with humanoid robots and several others with animal locomotion, especially what can be transferred from nature and what used from traditional robotics. The papers deal with both basic research and the dissemination of information on industrial robots performing such tasks as welding steel on ships or inspecting concrete constructions. Researchers from 23 countries present 130 papers, and five keynote speeches address control of hexapod walking, RePaC design and control, design of non-bio- mimetic walkers with fewer actuators, new trends in walking robots research, and development of dynamic locomotion for entertainment robots.
