The goal of this book is to introduce the visional application by excellent researchers in the world currently and offer the knowledge that can also be applied to another field widely. This book collects the main studies about machine vision currently in the world, and has a powerful persuasion in the applications employed in the machine vision. The contents, which demonstrate that the machine vision theory, are realized in different field. For the beginner, it is easy to understand the development in the vision servoing. For engineer, professor and researcher, they can study and learn the chapters, and then employ another application method.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th RoboWorld Cup and Congress of the Federation of International Robosoccer Association, FIRA 2011, held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in August 2011. The 34 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings out of a total of 110 contributed papers presented at FIRA 2011. The papers address a broad variety of current topics in robotics research, particularly in robot soccer.
Many books on dynamics start with a discussion of systems with one or two degrees of freedom and then turn to the generalization to the case of many degrees of freedom. For linear systems, the concept of eigenfunctions provides a compact and elegant method for decomposing the dynamics of a high dimensional system into a series of independent single-degree-of-freedom dynamical systems. Yet, when the system has a very high dimension, the determination of the eigenfunctions may be a distinct challenge, and when the dynamical system is nonconservative and/or nonlinear, the whole notion of uncoupled eigenmodes requires nontrivial extensions of classical methods. These issues constitute the subject of this book.
Fuzzy control theory is an emerging area of research. At the core of many engineering problems is the problem of control of different systems. These systems range all the way from classical inverted pendulum to auto-focusing system of a digital camera. Fuzzy control systems have demonstrated their enhanced performance in all these areas. Progress in this domain is very fast and there was critical need of a book that captures all the recent advances both in theory and in applications. Serving this purpose, this book is conceived. This book will provide you a very clear picture of current status of fuzzy control research. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and postgraduate students specializing in fuzzy systems, control engineering, and robotics.
The main objective of this monograph is to present a broad range of well worked out, recent application studies as well as theoretical contributions in the field of sliding mode control system analysis and design. The contributions presented here include new theoretical developments as well as successful applications of variable structure controllers primarily in the field of power electronics, electric drives and motion steering systems. They enrich the current state of the art, and motivate and encourage new ideas and solutions in the sliding mode control area.
Today it is more important than ever for designers to consider product and system durability in relation to reliability and sustainability issues. Containing papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Tribology and Design, Tribology and Design II brings together work by colleagues from different disciplines interested in problems of surface interaction and design. The topics covered include; Design tools; Test methods; Surface engineering; Tribology under extreme conditions; Surface measurements; Advances in lubrication; Wear mechanics; Plasticizers and slip additives; Tribology in biomechanics; Nano-tribology and design; Tribology in space applications; Reliability and life-oriented design; Advanced materials.
Publishes theoretical and applied original papers in dynamic systems. Theoretical papers present new theoretical developments and knowledge for controls of dynamical systems together with clear engineering motivation for the new theory. Applied papers include modeling, simulation, and corroboration of theory with emphasis on demonstrated practicality.
Robot arms have been developing since 1960's, and those are widely used in industrial factories such as welding, painting, assembly, transportation, etc. Nowadays, the robot arms are indispensable for automation of factories. Moreover, applications of the robot arms are not limited to the industrial factory but expanded to living space or outer space. The robot arm is an integrated technology, and its technological elements are actuators, sensors, mechanism, control and system, etc.
