The objective of this book is to provide those interested in the field of flexible robotics with an overview of several scientific and technological advances in the practical field of robotic manipula
Describes the types of robots and probes that have been developed to perform outer space exploration, discussing the Hubble Space Telescope, the Cassini orbiter, the Curiosity rover, and the Canadarm
Looks at the history of combat robots, describing their invention in the 1970s and 1980s, the Robot Wars events of the 1990s, and the increasing sophistication for the creations of larger robots by th
Explains what drones and other robots are and offers examples of the many ways they can be used, including search and rescue, delivering packages, and aerial photography.
Noisy optimization is a topic of growing interest for researchers working on mainstream optimization problems. Although several techniques for dealing with stochastic noise in optimization problems ar
The concept of swarm intelligence at first originated from the observation of nature. Through the observation and study of the behaviour of swarms of living creatures as ants colony, bird flocks, bees
Non-destructive testing (NDT) analysis techniques are used in science, technology and medicine to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system, without causing damage or altering the art
Brain-machine interfacing or brain-computer interfacing (BMI/BCI) is an emerging and challenging technology used in engineering and neuroscience. The ultimate goal is to provide a pathway from the bra
As control systems become more complex and are expected to perform tasks in unknown and extreme environments, they may be subject to various types of faults in their sensors, actuators or other compon
This book shows ways of augmenting the capabilities of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems by means of cognitive-mode language processing. The authors employ eye-tracking technology to record an
