Micro- and nanosystems represent an area of major scientific and technological opportunity and challenge, with actual and potential applications in almost all fields of human activity. The aim of this book is to present the central concepts of dynamic control systems (modeling, estimation, observation, identification, feedback control) and to show how they can be adapted and applied to the development of novel very small-scale systems and their associated human interfaces. The application fields presented here come from micro- and nano-robotics, biochips, near-field microscopy (AFM and STM) and nano-systems networks. Alina Voda has assembled contributions from leading experts at top research universities to produce the first overview of the major role that control systems science will play in the development of micro and nano-science and technologies.
Signal Measurement and Estimation Techniques for Micro and Nanotechnology discusses micro, nano and robotic cells and gives a state-of-the-art presentation of the different techniques and solutions to measure and estimate signals at the micro and nano scale. New technologies and applications such as micromanipulation (artificial components, biological objects), micro-assembly (MEMS, MOEMS, NEMS) and material and surface force characterization are covered. The importance of sensing at the micro and nano scale is presented as a key issue in control systems, as well as for understanding the physical phenomena of these systems. The book also: Explains issues that make signal measurement and estimation techniques difficult at the micro-nano-scale and offers solutions Discusses automated micro-assembly, and control of micro-nano robotic devices Presents and links signal measurement and estimation techniques for micro-nano scale systems with microfabrication methods, sensors integration and control schemes Signal Measurement and Estimation Techniques for Micro and Nanotechnology is a must-read for researchers and engineers working in MEMS and control systems.
The scope of the symposium covers all major aspects of system identification, experimental modelling, signal processing and adaptive control, ranging from theoretical, methodological and scientific developments to a large variety of (engineering) application areas. It is the intention of the organizers to promote SYSID 2003 as a meeting place where scientists and engineers from several research communities can meet to discuss issues related to these areas. Relevant topics for the symposium program include: Identification of linear and multivariable systems, identification of nonlinear systems, including neural networks, identification of hybrid and distributed systems, Identification for con...
During the academic year 2002-2003, the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering of Ia~i (Romania), and its Departments of Automatic Control and Industrial Informatics and of Computer Engineering respectively, celebrated 25 years from the establishment of the specialization named Automatic Control and Computer Engineering within the framework of the former Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Ia~i, and, at the same time, 40 years since the first courses on Automatic Control and Computers respectively, were introduced in the curricula of the former specializations of Electromechanical Engineering and Electrical Power Engineering at the already mentioned Faculty of Electrical Engi...
Ce livre en deux volumes reprend les actes officiels du 20e colloque GRETSI sur le traitement du signal et des images (6 - 9 septembre 2005, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique). Cette conférence francophone internationale, qui a lieu tous les deux ans sur l'impulsion du Groupe de recherche sur le traitement du signal (GRETSI), fut coorganisée pour cette 20e édition par le Laboratoire de télécommunications et télédétection (TELE) et l'Institut de physique théorique et mathématique (FYMA) de l'Université catholique de Louvain (UCL). Le colloque GRETSI 2005 a rassemblé quelques 350 personnes autour de 316 communications orales et posters de haut niveau. Les domaines de recherche couverts dans ces deux volumes sont multiples: représentations et modèles de signaux et d'images, communications et codage d'informations, traitement et analyse de signaux et d'images, décisions et interprétations automatiques, architectures matérielles et logicielles, etc. Ils comprennent également l'application de ces techniques en bio-ingénierie, astrophysique, imagerie médicale, géophysique, multimédia, aéronautique, ingénierie spatiale et d'autres encore.
