Robotic Mapping and Exploration (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics)

Springer, 2009

"Robotic Mapping and Exploration" is an important contribution in the area of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for autonomous robots, which has been receiving a great deal of attention by the research community in the latest few years. The contents are focused on the autonomous mapping learning problem. Solutions...

Control of Single Wheel Robots (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics)

Springer, 2005

This monograph presents a novel concept of a mobile robot, which is a single-wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot. The robot is balanced by a spinning wheel attached through a two-link manipulator at the wheel bearing, and actuated by a drive motor. This configuration conveys significant advantages including insensitivity to attitude...

Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Programming and Software Engineering)

Springer, 2009

Although the self-adaptability of systems has been studied in a wide range of disciplines, from biology to robotics, only recently has the software engineering community recognized its key role in enabling the development of future software systems that are able to self-adapt to changes that may occur in the system, its requirements, or the...

Recent Advances in Mechatronics

Springer, 2007

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision engineering, electronics, photonics and IT engineering. The main research task for mechatronics is development and control of advanced hybrid systems covering all these fields and supported by interdisciplinary studies.

This book presents recent state of advances in mechatronics presented...

Ubuntu on a Dime: The Path to Low-Cost Computing (Path to Low Cost Computing)

Apress, 2009

You know that Ubuntu software costs nothing. Now you want the PC system that costs as little as possible and runs Ubuntu and OS applications without complaints and calls to tech support.

So you spend your hard–earned dollars on the hardware only and have your own optimized Ubuntu PC. This is the book that will show you how to get what you...

Mathematics of Shape Description: A Morphological Approach to Image Processing and Computer Graphics

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Image processing problems are often not well defined because real images are contaminated with noise and other uncertain factors. In Mathematics of Shape Description, the authors take a mathematical approach to address these problems using the morphological and set-theoretic approach to image processing and computer graphics by presenting...

Geometric Algebra for Computer Science (Revised Edition): An Object-Oriented Approach to Geometry

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

Geometric algebra is a powerful and practical framework for the representation and solution of geometrical problems. We believe it to be eminently suitable to those subfields of computer science in which such issues occur: computer graphics, robotics, and computer vision.We wrote this book to explain the basic structure of geometric algebra, and to...

Robot Brains: Circuits and Systems for Conscious Machines

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Haikonen envisions autonomous robots that perceive and understand the world directly, acting in it in a natural human-like way without the need of programs and numerical representation of information. By developing higher-level cognitive functions through the power of artificial associative neuron architectures, the author approaches the issues of...

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

Viking Adult, 2005

Advance Praise For The Singularity is Near

"Ray Kurzweil is the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence. His intriguing new book envisions a future in which information technologies have advanced so far and fast that they enable humanity to transcend its biological...

Encyclopedia of Database Systems

Springer, 2009

The multi-volume Encyclopedia of Database Systems provides easy access to relevant information on all aspects of very large databases, data management, and database systems. Over 1,400 illustrated essays and definitional entries, organized alphabetically, present basic terminology, concepts, methods and data processing...

Variation-Aware Analog Structural Synthesis: A Computational Intelligence Approach (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)

Springer, 2009

Variation-Aware Analog Structural Synthesis describes computational intelligence-based tools for robust design of analog circuits. It starts with global variation-aware sizing and knowledge extraction, and progressively extends to variation-aware topology design. The computational intelligence techniques developed in this book...

Programming Mobile Robots with Aria and Player: A Guide to C++ Object-Oriented Control

Springer, 2009

Programming Mobile Robots with Aria and Player provides a comprehensive guide to creating object-oriented C++ programs for robots using the Player and Aria APIs within a Linux environment. A basic knowledge of object-oriented techniques is assumed, but the text is written in a user-friendly style, and is equally suitable for researchers...
