This book compiles some of the latest research in cooperation between robots and sensor networks. Structured in twelve chapters, this book addresses fundamental, theoretical, implementation and experimentation issues. The chapters are organized into four parts namely multi-robots systems, data fusion and localization, security and dependability, and mobility.
Focusing on soft computing techniques and application in various engineering research domains, this book presents the state-of-the-art outcomes from ongoing research works being conducted in various research laboratories and educational institutions. The included research works deal with estimated models and give resolutions to complex real-life issues. In the field of evolutionary computing and other domains of applications, such as, data mining and fuzzy logic, soft computing techniques play an incomparable role, where it successfully handles contemporary computationally intensive and complex problems that have usually appeared to be inflexible to traditional mathematical methods. Comprising the concepts and applications of soft computing with other emerging research domains, this book cherishes varieties of modern applications in the fields of natural language processing, image processing, biomedical engineering, communication, control systems, circuit design etc.
Contains proceedings from the 8th International Symposium on Process Systems Engineering (PSE), which brought together the global community of process systems engineering researchers and practitioners involved in the creation and application of computing based methodologies for planning, design, operation, control, and maintenance of chemical processes.Contains proceeding from the 8th International Symposium on Process Systems EngineeringConference theme for PSE 2003 is 'supporting business decision making'
There are a number of different system concepts that have gained much relevance in the area of embedded systems over the past couple of years. First, there is the classic concept of embedded systems where the focus is on control systems for physical processes. Secondly, the notion of pervasive computing has evolved, where the vision foresees everyday objects having some form of computation capacity and, in most cases, sensing and communication facilities. Thirdly, the notion of wireless sensor networks has arisen, where small computing devices are able to sense their environment and cooperate in order to achieve a well-defined goal. These three types of quite diverse systems share a lot of c...
The past decade has seen tremendous interest in the production and refinement of unmanned aerial vehicles, both fixed-wing, such as airplanes and rotary-wing, such as helicopters and vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. This book provides a diversified survey of research and development on small and miniature unmanned aerial vehicles of both fixed and rotary wing designs. From historical background to proposed new applications, this is the most comprehensive reference yet.
En el año 2014 tuvo lugar el vigesimosegundo Congreso Universitario de Innovación Educativa en las Enseñanzas Técnicas (XXII CUIEET), impulsado por la Conferencia de Directores. En esta ocasión, esta edición del CUIEET se celebró en Almadén durante los días 17 a 19 de septiembre de 2014. El CUIEET es un foro de intercambio de experiencias y difusión de las últimas innovaciones en el campo de la investigación educativa. Este congreso se creó con el fin de mejorar la formación en las Ingenierías de la Rama Industrial y así facilitar la incorporación al mundo laboral de sus titulados. La publicación de los resultados del congreso se han editado en tres volúmenes, quedando sus...
I velivoli a pilotaggio remoto – o più precisamente aeromobili a pilotaggio remoto (APR) – sia ad ala fissa che ad ala rotante, si rivelano sempre più un valido strumento a supporto di un ampio spettro di operazioni non-militari atte a garantire la sicurezza nazionale ed europea. In quest’ottica, il volume esamina la tematica dei velivoli a pilotaggio remoto da tre diverse angolazioni, offrendo un’analisi degli ipotetici scenari d’impiego in ambito civile/sicurezza, una disamina dei principali aspetti e delle potenziali vulnerabilità nel dominio cibernetico e, infine, alcune prospettive future in termini di mercato, sviluppo tecnologico e integrazione nello spazio aereo non segr...
A number of different system concepts have become apparent in the broader context of embedded systems over the past few years. Whilst there are some differences between these, this book argues that in fact there is much they share in common, particularly the important notions of control, heterogenity, wireless communication, dynamics/ad hoc nature and cost. The first part of the book covers cooperating object applications and the currently available application scenarios, such as control and automation, healthcare, and security and surveillance. The second part discusses paradigms for algorithms and interactions. The third part covers various types of vertical system functions, including data aggregation, resource management and time synchronization. The fourth part outlines system architecture and programming models, outlining all currently available architectural models and middleware approaches that can be used to abstract the complexity of cooperating object technology. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the trends guiding current research and gives suggestions as to possible future developments and how various shortcomings in the technology can be overcome.
These volumes of "Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing" highlight papers presented at the "Third Iberian Robotics Conference (ROBOT 2017)". Held from 22 to 24 November 2017 in Seville, Spain, the conference is a part of a series of conferences co-organized by SEIDROB (Spanish Society for Research and Development in Robotics) and SPR (Portuguese Society for Robotics). The conference is focused on Robotics scientific and technological activities in the Iberian Peninsula, although open to research and delegates from other countries. Thus, it has more than 500 authors from 21 countries. The volumes present scientific advances but also robotic industrial applications, looking to promote new collaborations between industry and academia.
