In a world where automation is quickly becoming a standard, a significant challenge arises – the need for robots to overcome their inherent limitations in processing power and storage. This bottleneck restricts their potential for innovation and collaboration, hindering the realization of true autonomous capabilities. The burgeoning field of Cloud Robotics promises a revolutionary solution by seamlessly integrating robots with cloud-based technologies. This integration empowers robots to offload computation tasks, tap into vast data resources, and engage in real-time collaboration with their mechanical counterparts. Existing literature often falls short of providing a holistic understandin...
With the advancement in computing technologies, the need for power is also increasing. Approximately 3% of the total power consumption is spent by data centers and computing devices. This percentage will rise when more internet of things (IoT) devices are connected to the web. The handling of this data requires immense power. Energy Systems Design for Low-Power Computing disseminates the current research and the state-of-the-art technologies, topologies, standards, and techniques for the deployment of energy intelligence in edge computing, distributed computing, and centralized computing infrastructure. Covering topics such as electronic cooling, stochastic data analysis, and energy consumption, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for data center designers, VLSI designers, network developers, students and teachers of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This two-volume set LNCS 6691 and 6692 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, IWANN 2011, held in Torremolinos-Málaga, Spain, in June 2011. The 154 revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 submissions for presentation in two volumes. The first volume includes 69 papers organized in topical sections on mathematical and theoretical methods in computational intelligence; learning and adaptation; bio-inspired systems and neuro-engineering; hybrid intelligent systems; applications of computational intelligence; new applications of brain-computer interfaces; optimization algorithms in graphic processing units; computing languages with bio-inspired devices and multi-agent systems; computational intelligence in multimedia processing; and biologically plausible spiking neural processing.
This handbook provides a framework for understanding how to characterize plastic manufacturing processes for use in troubleshooting problems. The 21 chapters are authored by well-known and experienced engineers who have specialized knowledge about the processes covered in this practical guide. From the Preface: “In every chapter, the process is described and the most common problems are discussed along with the root causes and potential technical solutions. Numerous case studies are provided that illustrate the troubleshooting process. Mark A. Spalding, The Dow Chemical Company
Every one of the many millions of cars manufactured annually worldwide uses shock absorbers, otherwise known as dampers. These form a vital part of the suspension system of any vehicle, essential for optimizing road holding, performance and safety. This, the second edition of the Shock Absorber Handbook (first edition published in 1999), remains the only English language book devoted to the subject. Comprehensive coverage of design, testing, installation and use of the damper has led to the book's acceptance as the authoritative text on the automotive applications of shock absorbers. In this second edition, the author presents a thorough revision of his book to bring it completely up to date...
This revised edition, issued in paperback, has been expanded to include exercises to reinforce the student's understanding of the concepts introduced. Whilst research continues to advance, the authors' fundamental approach, and their systematic treatment of the issues required to understand this fast-developing, multi-disciplinary field, will ensure that this book is required reading not only for sensor engineers designing intelligent sensor systems but also serves as a course text for graduate students specialising in instrumentation, and those in the final year of relevant undergraduate physics, electronics and other engineering first degrees.
