Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems, Living Machines 2018, held in Paris, France, in July 2018.The 40 full and 18 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The theme of the conference targeted at the intersection of research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems, biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems.
The Sounds of Life
An amazing journey into the hidden realm of nature’s sounds The natural world teems with remarkable conversations, many beyond human hearing range. Scientists are using groundbreaking digital technologies to uncover these astonishing sounds, revealing vibrant communication among our fellow creatures across the Tree of Life. At once meditative and scientific, The Sounds of Life shares fascinating and surprising stories of nonhuman sound, interweaving insights from technological innovation and traditional knowledge. We meet scientists using sound to protect and regenerate endangered species from the Great Barrier Reef to the Arctic and the Amazon. We discover the shocking impacts of noise po...
Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems, Living Machines 2019, held in Nara, Japan, in July 2019. The 26 full and 16 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. They deal with research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems, biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems.
The Fault in Our SARS
Proposes the pragmatic changes we must make to survive COVID and the worst of the new diseases on the horizon The Trump administration’s neglect and incompetence helped put half-a-million Americans in the ground, dead from COVID-19. Joe Biden was elected president in part on the promise of setting us on a science-driven course correction, but, a little more than a year later, another half-a-million Americans were killed by the virus. What happened? In The Fault in Our SARS, evolutionary epidemiologist Rob Wallace catalogs the Biden administration's failures in controlling the outbreak. He also shows that, beyond matters of specific political persona or party, it was a decades-long structur...
Living Machines
Contemporary research in the field of robotics attempts to harness the versatility and sustainability of living organisms with the hope of rendering a renewable, adaptable, and robust class of technology that can facilitate self-repairing, social, and moral--even conscious--machines. This landmark volume surveys this flourishing area of research.
Swarm Intelligence
What Is Swarm Intelligence The collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, either natural or artificial, is what is referred to as swarm intelligence (SI). The idea is used in research that is being done on artificial intelligence. In 1989, Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang were the ones who first used the phrase "cellular robotic systems" in connection with their respective fields of study. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Swarm intelligence Chapter 2: Genetic algorithm Chapter 3: Simulated annealing Chapter 4: Evolutionary algorithm Chapter 5: Swarm behaviour Chapter 6: Evolutionary computation Chapter 7: Particle swarm op...
Futures Studies
Futures studies are particularly important in our contemporary world, indispensable for countries and institutions alike. Unprecedented rapid developments in all fields require continuous efforts, from countries and individuals, to explore the future and draw up plans to keep pace with the latest developments. Moreover, countries that aspire to strengthen their economic position, and see citizens reach their full potential by providing the highest standards of welfare, should base strategies for the future on rational, objective studies. In this context, The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research’s (ECSSR) 23rd Annual Conference, ‘Futures Studies’, merits special attention,...
Handbook of Collective Robotics
This book is devoted to mechatronic, chemical, bacteriological, biological, and hybrid systems, utilizing cooperative, networked, swarm, self-organizing, evolutionary and bio-inspired design principles and targeting underwater, ground, air, and space applications. It addresses issues such as open-ended evolution, self-replication, self-development,
