This book provides a fundamental knowledge of robotic grasping and fixturing (RGF) manipulation. For RGF manipulation to become a science rather than an art, the content of the book is uniquely designed for a thorough understanding of the RGF from the multifingered robot hand grasp, basic fixture design principle, and evaluating and planning...

In this second edition of Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems, the authors demonstrate the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop new breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at a dramatically reduced cost and for sustained operations in...

This is a book that builds upon what...

Computer Science, or Informatics as it is often called in Europe, is viewed by many as being both a science and a technology. Clearly, its technological aspects are very much upon us on a day to day basis. Yet all other exact  sciences such as physics, biology or chemistry are also very present in ourdaily lives through the technologies...

Formerly used mainly by specialists in signal processing and numerical analysis, MATLAB® in recent years has achieved widespread and enthusiastic acceptance throughout the engineering community. Many engineering schools now require a course based entirely or in part on MATLAB early in the curriculum. MATLAB is programmable and has...

A major contribution to the field of electrochemistry, this book—based on a thorough review of the literature and author Yongjun Tan's twenty years of pioneering research—examines electrochemical heterogeneity and...
