Unifying Perspectives in Computational and Robot Vision (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering)

Springer, 2008

Currently there is a gap between the research conducted in computer vision and robotics communities. There are many characteristics in common in computer vision research and vision research in robotics. Despite having these common interests, however, pure computer vision has seen significant theoretical and methodological advances during the last...

Utilizing Problem Structure in Planning: A Local Search Approach

Springer, 2004

Planning is a crucial skill for any autonomous agent, be it a physically embedded agent, such as a robot, or a purely simulated software agent. For this reason, planning, as a central research area of artificial intelligence from its beginnings, has gained even more attention and importance recently.

After giving a general introduction to AI...

Evolutionary Robotics: The Biology, Intelligence, and Technology of Self-Organizing Machines

MIT Press, 2000

Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their own skills in close interaction with the environment and without human intervention. Drawing heavily on...

Robot Modeling and Control

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Robotics is a relatively young field of modern technology that crosses traditional engineering boundaries. Understanding the complexity of robots and their applications requires knowledge of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, systems and industrial engineering, computer science, economics, and mathematics. New disciplines of...

Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

Springer, 2007

Mechatronics education has been a constant source of interest to nearly all engineering conferences, and the first chapter in this book is dedicated to this most important subject.

The first paper discusses a very original idea from one of the more innovative pioneers of mechatronics education. This looks at the...

Learning in Embedded Systems (Bradford Books)

MIT Press, 1993

Learning to perform complex action strategies is an important problem in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning. Filled with interesting new experimental results, Learning in Embedded Systems explores algorithms that learn efficiently from trial-and error experience with an external world. It is the first...

Pinning Control of Complex Networked Systems: Synchronization, Consensus and Flocking of Networked Systems via Pinning

Springer, 2013

Synchronization, consensus and flocking are ubiquitous requirements in networked systems. Pinning Control of Complex Networked Systems investigates these requirements by using the pinning control strategy, which aims to control the whole dynamical network with huge numbers of nodes by imposing controllers for only a fraction of...
