Advances in Robot Manipulators
Edited by Ernest Hall, ISBN 978-953-307-070-4, Hard cover, 678 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: April 01, 2010 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, in subject Mechanical Engineering
The purpose of this volume is to encourage and inspire the continual invention of robot manipulators for science and the good of humanity. The concepts of artificial intelligence combined with the engineering and technology of feedback control, have great potential for new, useful and exciting machines. The concept of eclecticism for the design, development, simulation and implementation of a real time controller for an intelligent, vision guided robots is now being explored. The dream of an eclectic perceptual, creative controller that can select its own tasks and perform autonomous operations with reliability and dependability is starting to evolve. We have not yet reached this stage but a careful study of the contents will start one on the exciting journey that could lead to many inventions and successful solutions.
