Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics
The present book includes a set of selected extended papers from the 11th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO 2014), held in Vienna, Austria, from 1 to 3 September 2014. The conference brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application of informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Four simultaneous tracks will be held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization, Robotics, Automation, Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modelling and Control, and Industrial Engineering, Production and Management. Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Control, Automation and Robotics. ICINCO 201...
Living with Robots
The truth about robots: two experts look beyond the hype, offering a lively and accessible guide to what robots can (and can't) do. There’s a lot of hype about robots; some of it is scary and some of it utopian. In this accessible book, two robotics experts reveal the truth about what robots can and can’t do, how they work, and what we can reasonably expect their future capabilities to be. It will not only make you think differently about the capabilities of robots; it will make you think differently about the capabilities of humans. Ruth Aylett and Patricia Vargas discuss the history of our fascination with robots—from chatbots and prosthetics to autonomous cars and robot swarms. They...
Жизнь с роботами. Что нужно знать каждому беспокоящемуся человеку
Вся правда о роботах! Два эксперта по робототехнике доступно объясняют причины нашего беспокойства и рассказывают о том, что роботы могут (и не могут) делать, как они работают и чего стоит ожидать от них в будущем. Прочитав эту книгу, вы по-другому посмотрите не только на способности роботов, но и на способности людей.Из книги вы узнаете:[ul]Почему роботы могут плавать и летать, но им трудно ходить?Какие особенности роботов заимствованы у животных и насекомых?Почему у нас возникают чувства к роботам?Какие человеческие способности роботу трудно повторить?[/ul]В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.
Consciousness in Humanoid Robots
Building a conscious robot is a scientific and technological challenge. Debates about the possibility of conscious robots and the related positive outcomes and hazards for human beings are today no longer confined to philosophical circles. Robot consciousness is a research field aimed at a two-part goal: on the one hand, scholars working in robot consciousness take inspiration from biological consciousness to build robots that present forms of experiential and functional consciousness. On the other hand, scholars employ robots as tools to better understand biological consciousness. Thus, part one of the goal concerns the replication of aspects of biological consciousness in robots, by unifyi...
Building the iCub Mindware: Open-source Software for Robot Intelligence and Autonomy
Intelligence and autonomy are among the most extraordinary capacities blossomed by human evolution. Yet, endowing humanoid robots with these two crucial capabilities is still one of the biggest problems for the robotics community, despite decades of research. On the software side, algorithms for artificial intelligence are still at an embryonic stage. On the hardware side, robotic actuators are a far cry from the muscular human system in terms of flexibility and adaptability, which in turn reduces autonomy and robustness. Underneath the nature of algorithms for intelligence and technology for autonomy, the importance of efficient, scalable implementations of robust software goes without sayi...
Aerial Manipulation
This text is a thorough treatment of the rapidly growing area of aerial manipulation. It details all the design steps required for the modeling and control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) equipped with robotic manipulators. Starting with the physical basics of rigid-body kinematics, the book gives an in-depth presentation of local and global coordinates, together with the representation of orientation and motion in fixed- and moving-coordinate systems. Coverage of the kinematics and dynamics of unmanned aerial vehicles is developed in a succession of popular UAV configurations for multirotor systems. Such an arrangement, supported by frequent examples and end-of-chapter exercises, leads th...
