This book provides an overview of model-based environmental visual perception for humanoid robots. The visual perception of a humanoid robot creates a bidirectional bridge connecting sensor signals with internal representations of environmental objects. The objective of such perception systems is to answer two fundamental...
Cities have always played a prominent role in the prosperity of civilization. Indeed, every great civilization we can think of is associated with the prominence of one or more thriving cities. And so understanding cities -- their inhabitants, their institutions, their infrastructure -- what they are and how...
This book collects chapters dealing with some of the theoretical aspects needed to properly discuss the dynamics of complex engineering systems. The book illustrates advanced theoretical development and new techniques designed to better solve problems within the nonlinear dynamical systems. Topics covered in this volume include...
Swanson's Criminal Investigation, Twelfth Edition, is widely recognized as the most accurate and comprehensive text in the field. This practical, step-by-step introduction to criminal investigation gives students a logical framework for understanding the investigative process. Major sections cover current issues, such as...
Cooperative Control of Nonlinear NetworkedSystems is concerned with the distributed cooperative control of multiple networked nonlinear systems in the presence of unknown non-parametric uncertainties and non-vanishing disturbances under certain communication conditions. It covers stability analysis tools and...
This edited volume features a curated selection of research in algebraic combinatorics that explores the boundaries of current knowledge in the field.
